Need Help!. I have an oracle 7 database (7.3.2.2 for NT). The operating system crashed and had to be re-installed. Oracle 7 then also had to be re-installed. I still have the old oracle files on disk and want to be able to recover a database. Unfortunately, no exports were done prior to the crash. All I have available is a the datafiles and control files.

Is is possible to create a new instance without creating a new database, then with the init.ora file, point the control files to the existing control files in order to recover the data??? Received on Mon Jun 02 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
