You are right. Excluding TEMP tablespace from hot backups is not a problem at all.
Your in-house instructions/docs about recovering the database should spell out what to do after performaing the recovery. Also if your version of Oracle supports the TEMPFILEs and TEMPORARY tablespaces, consider those for TEMP tablespaces. Please refer to Note# 160426.1 on Metalink for details. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2002 9:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I was wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions to this issue, or the pro's and con's... We are trying to shorten the time frame that it takes to complete our Oracle hot backups, and the subsequent file copies to tape. I have read that it is ok to skip the TEMP tablespace, and then do an off-line drop of the datafile(s) in the temporary tablespace, drop the tablespace, and then recreate it. Our temporary tablespaces are 900mb, and they take a chunk of the total time it takes to complete the hot backups. Are there any issues or ramifications of not including that tablespace in the event of a recovery? It seems to me that it would be much quicker to re-create that tablespace if needed. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Traci Rebman Oracle Database Administrator R.R.
