Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Title: Recovery without backup. I don't know much about this feature, but someone mentioned in 8.1.7 you can recover a datafile even without a backup as long as you have a control file that knew about it and the archive logs. Anyone give this a try?  I am going to attempt this weekend on my test box.
