I'm sure you'll get lots of help on this one, but the things that stand out to me are: >>Should I restore the control files(of FEb 3) before starting the recovery.? Don't restore the control files from Feb. 3, you need them from the current time. Otherwise Oracle will not know it has recovery to do.
>>Should i restore redo log files? Excecpt for control files you will need all files, data, redo, etc. from the Feb 3 backup. Good luck with it. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/26/03 04:33PM >>> Hi, I have to recover my database back to 23-MAR-03.There was some changes to the data yesterday and cannot be reverted.
