Hi All.

Using Oracle 8.1.7, I am considering the use of RMAN in order to run a continous recovered DB, so I`ll do a full recovery once and then, every X days I`ll run an incremental recovery for this DB. I know that the DB will never be "open". My actual plans are to use PIT disks features and open a copy of the database everytime I`ll need it, without ruining the recovery process.

At first we considered using a Stand By DB, but then we`ve found that every time we`ll add/resize a datafile we`ll have to do it on the standby too, so we dropped this idea.

Will RMAN solve me this problem?
Do you think that it is possible to run in a "continous recovery" as I described?
BTW: I`m couting on the feature that every "incremental recovery" will update only the affected blocks in the DB and won`t create the full datafile from scratch.

Thanks,
