Mladen, calm down and look at the title of the thread. How can you mount something with no files? Valentin was obviously referring to two steps before the one you were talking about, where one has to copy the backup pieces so you can use RMAN to recover them.

I think avoiding ORA-1665 or ORA-1666 might be a better reason, but I don't get the joke. I'd like to get the joke. Would you be so kind as explain the joke? Aren't you glad you made a joke?
