I have a basic backup and recovery question. Right now I am practicing, this is not a real scenario:

Let's say my hard drive gets destroyed. Fortunately, I made a cold backup in noarchivemode the day before. Problem is, I have to put my backed-up datafiles in a new location, say /u02 instead of /u01. The backed-up control files only know about the old datafile locations, i.e.) /u01. How do I tell my backed-up copy of the control file about the new locations of the datafiles? Unless it knows about the new location, it can't open the database.

(And obviously, I wouldn't put all my datafiles on /u01, but I'm trying to keep it simple.)

Sorry is this a basic question for you all!

Thanks
