I'm wondering if anyone can provide some reasons to use the
CONTROLFILE_REUSE clause of the CREATE DATABASE statement?
Someone recently asked me about this, and I have no idea
what answer to give. I never use it. I just delete the old
control files an recreate them. I know what the clause does,
but given the relatively small size of control files
relative to other database files, I don't know what I would
gain from using it. Any insights?
