Re: How to OPEN RESETLOGS when not recovering?

Why do you want to do this? I'm not sure what you meant by "whack all the archived redo information". After a cold backup, the old archived redo logs are no longer necessary. You do not need to tell the Oracle db anything about this. During recovery, you restore from your full backup and then apply only those redo logs since that backup. Can you explain why you want to open the database with RESETLOGS?

Thanks,
Brian
