It has to do with your nls settings, however I find it always easier to explicitly set the time using the to_date function rather than rely on nls settings.

Subject: [Q] RMAN "set until time" syntax ???

We have ORACLE 10GR2 on LINUX server. I am testing RMAN function and found some syntax issue need help:

If I use "set until time
"to_date('2007-09-21:15:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD:hh24:mi:ss')"; it work fine. But if I use "set until time '2007-09-21:15:00:00';", I have error. based on RMAN guide "set until time '2007-09-21:15:00:00';" should work.

Anyone know why?

• reference === setenv NLS_LANG american_america.us7ascii setenv NLS_DATE_FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD:hh24:mi:ss'

RMAN> run {

2> set until time '2007-09-21:15:00:00';
3> restore database;
4> }
