Well, Tim... I recall you posting all sorts of good things in the past, and I really should have been cool, calm and reflective before I replied to you the first time. So my apologies for that in return.

It was your near-opening line in your first post that touched a nerve, together with the general woolliness that seems to cling to this subject. As evidenced by the other contributions to this thread. But that's no excuse, though.

If we could all generally just the learn the lesson that 'using backup controlfile' gets used as a command only when one actually is, I shall be happy!
