Just try cancelling the recovery. If it is an online redo log the database should open.

HTH,

Subject: problem with recovery

While all tablespaces were in backup mode, Oracle reported corruption in the controlfiles and crashed.=20

A checksum of the controlfiles found them to be identical,=20 so I re-created them. Then I took the datafiles out of backup mode.

When I went to open the database, oracle tells me that the datafiles still need recovery, and that the archive file needed is sequence #15339. But this is the online redo logfile that was the current file at time of crash.

How do I get Oracle to see the online file rather than=20 looking for an archive file?

I cannot use 'alter system switch logfile' to=20 get oracle to archive the onlines because the database is not open.

I've also attempt

alter database archive log file '....';

alter database recover logfile '...';

Both of these commands are invalide after re-creating the controlfile.

I even tried copying the online file to the correct name in=20 the archive directory. Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?
