With a valid cold backup that includes everything ... you can apply "future" archivelogs by taking the database to mount by sqlplus then doing a recover database until cancel.
I don't see why getting a newer later version of the controlfile does anything except complicate what I think you are trying to do. Any structural changes to the database ( which get reflected in the control files ) will be picked up as you forward recover from the archivelogs. Received on Sat Feb 21 2009 - 07:25:20 CST
