RE: nomount

lol looks like it eh?

I know that you can view v$instance while the database is not mounted - not sure about the other one..

And - straight from the Oracle Concepts Manual (page 126)

Locally managed temporary tablespaces have temporary datafiles (tempfiles), which
are similar to ordinary datafiles except that:

Tempfiles are always set to NOLOGGING mode. You cannot make a tempfile read-only.
You cannot rename a tempfile.
You cannot create a tempfile with the ALTER DATABASE statement. Media recovery does not recognize tempfiles:  – BACKUP CONTROLFILE does not generate any information for tempfiles.  – CREATE CONTROLFILE cannot specify any information about tempfiles. Tempfile information is shown in the dictionary view DBA_TEMP_FILES and the dynamic performance view V$TEMPFILE, but not in DBA_DATA_FILES or the V$DATAFILE view.

Looks like I failed my OCP :P
