RE: URGENT 8.1.7 recovery question

Hi Chris,

According to this:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a82950/ch8.htm#1001420

you don't need the to_date() function.

Subject: URGENT 8.1.7 recovery question

Ok, guys and gals. I just lost an 8.1.7.4 db that doesn't use RMAN.

I have totally forgotten how to recover {until time} a db that doesn't use RMAN.

I'm restoring the DB files and the archivelog files and want to recover until 12:30 PM CST.

Help me remember the recovery process if you will.

I think its:

SQL> Startup mount;

SQL> recover database until time to_date('01/14/2008 12:31:00','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

SQL> alter database open resetlogs;

Is that right??
