RE: Recover database using backup controlfile

Sorry to reply to an old post, but I stumbled on this at one point as well. What does the re-arranged syntax do exactly (i.e. I expect it to do the same thing as the correct syntax, and think I even came across it in an RMAN manual somewhere in the re-arranged fashion). It was just blind luck that I re-typed it "wrong" and got it to work...

I don't have a copy of the Velpuri book unfortunately. :(

Thanks,
Rich
