I didn't find it in the manuals and I pretty sure that it can't be done, but
I thought I'd check.
I have an 8.0.6 database that is shutdown and backed up Sat. night and
restarted.
I keep backup the archive logs and they're shipped off site.
now it's Mon. afternoon and a disaster occurs where we have to recreate the
environment.
the only thing I have is the cold backup and the archive logs that were
shipped off site.
I was thinking I couldn't recover past the cold backup, but my boss says I
can apply the archives after the backup.
who is right?
My initial thought is that all the files would be in sync and the archives
wouldn't be needed and that I couldn't force Oracle to apply them.
His thoughts are that if I have them, Oracle should do what I tell it too :)
What's the right answer?
any advice for this type of scenario where the whole database is taken out?
Thanks,
Steve
