RE: HELP: Oracle Database Recovery Dilemma

Bryan: Wow. I just typed this command in seconds ago . .

SVRMGR> recover database until time '2002-06-28:10:30:00' using backup controlfile;

See the backup and recovery manual:

"Issue the RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME statement to begin time-based recovery.
The time is always specified using the following format, delimited by single

quotation marks: 'YYYY-MM-DD:HH24:MI:SS'. The following statement recovers the database
up to a specified time using a control file backup:

        RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '1992-12-31:12:47:30' USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE"
