Sorry I never got back to people on this (since I got my restore to work
using the standby controlfile I didn't pursue it for a while and then I
forgot to respond until I was cleaning up old messages). The issue was
adding the "until cancel" clause.

Luckily I have never had this situation in production,
and what I have read also suggests using the ascii
file created from 'BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE' for
recovery. I just had a little time on my hands and

Is this recovery method valid? The loss of controlfiles is supposed to be
recovered using the trace file generated from a previous BACKUP CONTROLFILE
TO TRACE, isn't it? At least according to the Oracle8 Backup and Recovery
class it is.
The part that concerns me is that you are recovering using

My understanding the when you perform a "recover database using backup controlfile", the stop SCN in the controlfile is set to infinity... Therefore, you never "finish" media recovery since you never encounter the stop
maybe the problem was never in the file but in the controlfile in the
backup?
standby assumes that the scn in the datafile header will be out of date
and that you will be recovering up to or past the scn in the standby
controlfile and that that is okay.

Hi Jay,
When you perform a "recover database using backup controlfile" you are performing an incomplete recovery... Do a recover database using backup controlfile until cancel... Cancel... Then open resetlogs...

Another piece of information:
On the basis of "it couldn't hurt to try" I recopied everything but instead
of using the regular control file I used the standby control file. I then
mounted it in standby mode, issued the recover standby database command,
activated the standby, shutdown, and opened
I think you have to alter the old database backup the control file to trace
file and then use this trace file after modification and editing to open the
new database.

Okay, this is weird.
I'm trying to rebuilding my QC database from a hot backup. As always, I
copied all the hot backup files, all the archive logs from the period of the
hot backup and the control files.
After doing
recover database using backup controlfile;
I got
