Dont restore redo logs, or controlfiles... Restoring controlfile is only if you have lost ALL your current ones.
Open resetlogs rebuilds you a new set.(You are not in danger of redoing the other transactions). Take a new backup after you finish your restore. I assume you knew but just left out.. shutdown the database before restoring files.. Depending on your resources..some people do a cold backup of your current setup incase things go bad with the recovery. Good Luck. Here's a good cheat for you. http://www.contemporary-technologies.com/oracle-training/oracle-certificatio n/download/cram-8i-backup.doc Brian Spears -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 5:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, I have to recover my database back to 23-MAR-03.There was some changes to the data yesterday and cannot be reverted.
