Subject: Another Database DownWell, I think the time for jubilation has been short-lived for me. The production database was recovered successfully due to archiving and luck. I also have a small, inhouse, remedy (help desk) database that I haven't done anything with and now recovery is necessary for it as well. The bad news is I wasn't archiving, and although I do have a physical backup, the database was not down.
I restored the datafiles, control files, and redo logs so that everything would be for the same time, but when I try to open the database I get the error "cannot mount database in exclusive mode." The error states that an instance already has it open in exclusive or parallel mode. I am assuming this is because the database was not closed when the backup was executed.
I have tried a few things to 'trick' it, but I guess my magic tricks are not good enough to fool the crowd. I am already bracing myself for what I will probably read in response to this...but I am hopeful that someone will find that rabbit in the hat.
Thank you in advance,
Laura
