Okay People,

I am not the DBA and don't have all the details but this is our situation the way it was explained to me:

We had a server crash to the point where Unix and Oracle had to be reinstalled, however the disks containing our data tablespaces (that is, everything but the system tablespaces) are still good, and apparently for several reasons, we have not had a good backup for at least a week. Is there anyway to get a new Oracle install to recognize old tablespaces?

TIA, Regina
