Re: recovery

Hey
1. you dont need to do anything with redologs either backup or restore. 2. you can use the current control file(in which case you dont have to do anything) or use old control file.

Incase, If you use old control file with combo of current relo logs then you need to use "recover..blah..blah..using backup controlfile". If you have old redologs, old controlfiles and old datafiles then just "recover..blah..blah..until time..blah" will work.

Email if you need more help.
