Hi

Can autobackup of control file be NOT enabled?

If you do full database backup using RMAN you get the controlfile like it or not, isn't it?

So i'd say a because with b you don't automatically get the controlfiles

Sorry, posted using wrong subject header, DUH!

Use the following Exhibit to answer this question (note: This is not a hacked OCP question. This question
came about out of the experience of one of our junior DBA's that I had to come in and figure out...Several
Sr. DBA's that I know have gotten it wrong already... but we got some smart fokls here! :-)

RMAN backup. Autobackup of control file is not enabled.

Time a - Backup of database
Time b - Archivelog Backups
Time c - Drop tablespace
Time d - Archivelog Backup

To restore successfully, with RMAN (no manual fiddling) to time point b, you
will first need to restore a control file. Which backup would you want to restore the control file from... (more than one answer may well be correct, I'm not telling).

  1. Control file from point a
  2. Control file from point b
  3. Control file from before point c
  4. Control file from after point c
  5. Control file from point d
  6. Recovery is not possible.

I'll reveal the answer in the next 2 days...(and this *IS* a trick question,
so
think carefully).
