RE: Rman ... what do YOU need

How about an exhaustive list of differences between running with a catalog and without. In the documentation it is so brief. It also seems that the disadvantages of running nocatalog are becoming less and less. I flipped out at first when I found out I wouldn't have another license (and therefore no rcat) but the more I read about it, the more I saw it was OK. There's even a note on Metalink about how to perform TSPITR without a catalog with one of the more recent versions. ???

I would run out and buy a book on this topic in a second if it was very detailed. The documentation is just too brief at times.
