RE: Urgent: restore from hot backup w/o archivelogs

Well.... If you don't mind possibly destroying the database you are trying to restore, you can use:

alter session set events 'IMMEDIATE trace name ADJUST_SCN level 1';

We had a strange failure / recovery situation and I was given this command. The description posted in the TAR was:

"A data block SCN is ahead of the current SCN. The ORA-600 [2662] occurs when an SCN is compared to the dependent SCN (which is stored in a UGA variable). If the SCN is strictly less than the dependent SCN, then we signal the ORA-600 [2662] internal error, and print out the SCN, the dependent SCN, and the dependent SCN block."

• this can corrupt the database ***

I later used it in another case, where the Sys Admin had restored the wrong version or combination of files and used level 100 instead of 1 to do a bigger increase. This was on a test instance and I didn't want to rebuild if I had a way around in the meantime.

Well,

My mind seems to have stopped working now. Can you do an ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS if log switches have occurred and some of the database files have been updated between the first ALTER TABLESPACE <tbs1> BEGIN BACKUP and the last ALTER TABLESPACE <tbsN> END BACKUP wouldn't you get

   ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent Do you issue an ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS without even attempting a RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL ?

Or does it work if *ALL* the Tablespaces are put in BACKUP mode and the hot backup is
provided to you without archive logs, irrespective of the number of archive logs generated
and NOT work if the Tablespaces are in BACKUP mode sequentially ?
