Dear friends,
I am not able to start one very old Oracle6 DB restored recently. This = is
due to the mismatches in data files (files were (cold) backed up at different dates)
I understand that it is impossible in normal cases. Is there any method (documented/undocumentd) to force the start (let some objects be in unpredicatble state!)
Can we change some bytes in header of datafiles / controlfiles to make them sync to system.dbf or something like that.

Appreciate if somebody can highlight. I am really in big trouble.

Mehul.
