Re: file is more recent than control file-old control file

ORA-01122: datafile name - failed verification check Cause: The information in the datafile is inconsistent with information from the control file. This could be for any of the following reasons:

The control file is from a time earlier than the datafiles. The datafile size does not match the size specified in the control file. The datafile is corrupted.
Action: Make certain that the datafiles and control files are the correct files for this database, then retry the operation.

ORA-01207: file is more recent than control file - old control file Cause: The control file change sequence number in the datafile is greater than the number in the control file. This implies that the wrong control file is being used.

Note: If this message occurs repeatedly, by opening the database many times, the message may stop occurring without the problem being corrected. Every attempt to open the database will advance the control file change sequence number until it is great enough.

Action: Use the current control file or perform cancel-based recovery to make the control file current. Be sure to follow all restrictions on performing a cancel-based recovery.
