My opinion is that the ETL programmer should not be running any script or any command on a database server machine. He/she should not even have an account on the machine.  

Again, a database failure because of "operator error". Nothing to do with the software itself.

Funny, I just read an AskTom post yesterday where he recommended against naming your redo logs with the .log extension for this very reason.

Thanks to all for the help -the FM gave me the quickest work-around:  

RESTORE DATABASE DEVICE TYPE DISK;   I will check the SHOW ALL output and set the configuration to use disk as the default, but I am in the middle of the restore process right now. The cause of my problem was an erroneous rm *.log that whacked all the redologs by an analyst trying to clean out a bunch of Oracle Warehouse Builder ETL log files.  

Thanks for all of your fine responses, as usual ORACLE-L is the best.
