To the Gurus: Someone confirm/rectify these statements for me (database is in
archivelog mode): 1) If you loose ALL your control files (I know, very
unlikely but just for the sake of the argument and to try to understand the
concept), the only way out is to retrieve a backup control file and perform
an incomplete recovery. 2) If you have an older control file, you cannot just
apply archive logs generated after the loss of control files to update the
status of your database to the status of your log files. The SCN in the
control file is what determines up to which stage you can restore your
database. So with an older control file (from a backup for instance), the
only solution is an incomplete recovery. Answer needed urgently for tests
that we are currently conducting. In advance, thanks. Miary.
