John, You listed as an urban myth:
> * You *have* to take a COLD backup of the database after using resetlogs. > (Not required - a Hot backup and archive logs is adequate. All hot backups / > archive logs prior to that are invalid, though...) Consider the following: Time: t0: database restored t1: database opened with RESETLOGS t2: hot backup started ( database in archive log mode ) t3: users input very important transactions t4: database crashes, and must be restored How will you recover the transactions from time t3?
