OT RE: RMAN Questions

Mladen,  

In metaphorically de-referencing a backup thread as a rope, and then comparing
to OPS, RAC, etc. you are possibly forcing the generic, helpless, anonymous and
witless DBA to make a major purchasing decision which could result in massive
failures in his IT department, general business failure, loss of job, family, and indeed
life.  

I think you are a very bad and malicious person. You should be passed no more
pointers to metaphors, and set to "moderated" status. Perhaps only then you'd
learn how to behave in a large yet delicate and fragile community of DBAs.  

There, I said it. I feel better.

Which can easily be answered from the documentation, but since I have to be nice, here we go:

Restores controlfile from the backups of controlfile. It doesn't look into other backups.

Restores controlfile from any backup which has controlfile autobackup.

Maximum numer of corrupt blocks for the datafile number 3. A malicious and bad
person would suggest you to read the f***ing manual, but, as I've said before,
I'm a nice guy, so I will not say anything like that.

A long, thin string, first among the many. Bundled together, you can call them a rope,
OPS or RAC, depending on the material they're made of.

Michael from Utah will probably have something to say about your question, but please, pay
no attention. You're welcome.
