Rick,
In a perfect world, we would be tracking major changes to the database (even
updates) by time.
In your case, you are stuck with taking a WAG, or more better, and educated
WAG. You said that you think you dropped the table at about 1700. You can
choose a point-in-time recovery to be 1630, to be safe. When you open the
database, if the table is there, then you are done. If not, do it again.
Good Luck!

How was the timestamp derived prior to logminer as Point-In-Time recovery
has been around a long time?
Thanks

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Have you looked into using logminer? Even if it can't restore your
table, it can give you the exact time that it was dropped.

Hi DBAs,
Oracle 8i, ArchiveLog, No RMAN
Testing Point-In-Time Recovery
I am confused on what time to substitute in the RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL
TIME
'timestamp';
For example 2 days ago 11/04/2003 approximately 17:00 I drop a table.
Today I decide I want that table back. I want to do an incomplete
recovery
to get the table back.
How do I know what timestamp to use? I have an idea the I dropped the
table but not exact.
1. SHUTDOWN Normal
2. BACKUP current database
3. Restore datafile that has the table in it.
4. connect internal
5. startup mount
6. recover database until time 'timestamp??????';
7. Alter database open resetlogs;
8. BACKUP current database
Step 5 is my confusion.
Also I assume all data is now lost since last archive restored to the
present.
The only way I know to get that data back is to
1. Export the table that was dropped.
2. Restore database from step2
3. Import table from step1
Is there better ways.
Thanks
Rick
