RE: Tablespace Restore

If you have an extra server w/enough space you can restore your backup to that server, roll forward as far as you can, then export the table. On your production machine export the table (for backup purposes), drop it, then restore with the up to date version.

Can someone do a sanity check please. Oracle 7.3.3 on NT 4.0 (SP5)

If a user has dropped an important table which MUST be restored the only way this can be done (without use of an up to date export) is to

1. Restore the WHOLE database from the last backup with all archived redo logs
2. Roll the database forward to a point in time just before the user fouled up
3. Open the database with RESETLOGS

Am I correct in thinking there is no way to restore just the affected tablespace without touching the rest of the database.

Thanks
STEVE
