Agreed - for 'normal operations'.

With 9i RMAN does support managing the catalog manually to add and delete those files that have been handled outside the RMAN environment. And users are clearly encouraged to crosscheck regularily.

Your comment about reading the manual, however, is still valid.

To OP ... at least [re]read the 'Recovery Manager Quick Reference' manual. <g>
