Excuse me??? I said, repeatedly, that I hadn't mentioned TSPITR because it wasn't *relevant* to mention it. I *never* said TSPITR was impossible. Having practically written the book on Oracle backup and recovery, I know full well that TSPITR has a role to play in some situations. *This wasn't one of them*.

Or are you saying that I declared it impossible to extract USERS from an RMAN backup? No, I didn't do that, either. I said that in order to be able to do that, he would first have to extract his control files from his RMAN backup, and with the control files back, he would then have to recover his database. Which is exactly what the Metalink article you quoted says, too.

But if he's just recovered his database, what use has he then for doing a TSPITR?
