Sorry for the late response, you probably are long done with your partial
restore - but I'll add my $0.00002 cents to the discussion:
When I have done these partial restores I have limited my create
controlfile script to only system, rollback, and the tablespaces I wanted.
I have ONLY had success when I have listed the SYSTEM and ROLLBACK
datafiles FIRST in the create controlfile script - I have gotten 600 errors
otherwise - just my experience. Roll the database forward, open it,
and pull out what you need.... I usually build a DB link and copy the data
to another database rather than exporting it. I don't drop the
datafiles I don't need - just let them get marked as "missing". This is
obviously a *very* temporary database and after I get what I need I blow it
up.
I'm sure there are other methods of doing this - this works for me.

I can't think of anything you're missing. I recall that
read-only
tablespaces if you have any must be offline, but maybe that is only for a
database restore, not a tablespace restore. I assume you have a plan to
move
the tables back to your production system, maybe just export/import if they
are small.

Hi all:
I'm doing a partial restore of a database in order to
recover two lost tables. I figured I would only need
to restore the tablespaces where the tables are
stored,
SYSTEM and RBS tablespaces. I will also need to
restore
to a specific point in time (last Friday).
I'm a little less clear on what I will have to do
after the restore of the datafiles, archived logs and
controlfile is done. I will need to recover the
datafiles, drop all other datafiles that I don't need
and open the database in resetlogs mode. Is that a
good plan or am I missing something?
thanks
Gene
