I am reading your book and it may help me. But I wonder if any of the
following are possible:
1. If I say recover database using backup controlfile until cancel, then
type Cancel, it just says media recovery cancelled. If I leave out the
"using backup controlfile" it simply tells me that I have to use it and
quits immediately. Anyway to get it to stop insisting on the backup
controlfile?
2. Is it possible take the system tablespace file offline, recover the
datafile and bring it back online?
3. I don't have a set of backup files for the entire database at the point
before things got screwy (that part in your book where you say "sack the dba
trainee" - well that's kind of me only I never exactly volunteered to be dba
trainee). Is it possible to create a new datafile(6.4.4 in your book) for
the system tablespace that would cause me to lose all users but still be
able to get at the user's data that is in another tablespace? Or is it true
that losing the system tablespace means all hope is gone?
4. Open resetlogs sounds exactly like what I want it to do but it just isn't
"enough recovery" to suit Oracle's sensibilities. Is there something like a
Force Resetlogs?
Thanks,
Paul K
