Weird recovery, need help please

 Hi,

I practice backup and recovery and experience weird result, oh may Oracle bug or may be my method is incorrect.

Here is what I have
Fact:
Time 1 -> Cold backup
Time 2 -> Create table
Time 2.1 -> insert few records
Time 2.2 -> alter system switch logfile; (5 times)

Recovery:
I try to recover database with Time 1 cold backup (including the control file) and Time 2 archive redolog.

Step:

1. Restore Cold Backup
2. Startup mount (started)
3. recover database until cancel using backup control file;

step 3 give me error

SYS@[Canada] SQL+> recover database until cancel using backup controlfile; ORA-00279: change 3880315 generated at 05/25/2005 00:16:29 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\CANADA\ARCHIVE\ARC01654.001 ORA-00280: change 3880315 for thread 1 is in sequence #1654

I don't understand why I can't roll forward using cold backup, Oracle said "USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE" will ignore the SCN.

Please help.

Regards,

Sin
