Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: How to OPEN RESETLOGS when not recovering?
Why do you want to do this? I'm not sure what you meant by "whack all
the archived redo information". After a cold backup, the old archived
redo logs are no longer necessary. You do not need to tell the Oracle db
anything about this. During recovery, you restore from your full backup
and then apply only those redo logs since that backup. Can you explain
why you want to open the database with RESETLOGS?
Thanks,
Brian
