Use the following Exhibit to answer this question (note: This is not a
hacked OCP question. This question
came about out of the experience of one of our junior DBA's that I had to
come in and figure out...Several
Sr. DBA's that I know have gotten it wrong already... but we got some smart
fokls here! :-)
RMAN backup. Autobackup of control file is not enabled.
Time a - Backup of database
Time b - Archivelog Backups
Time c - Drop tablespace
Time d - Archivelog Backup
To restore successfully, with RMAN (no manual fiddling) to time point b, you
will first need to restore a control file. Which backup would you want to
restore the control file from... (more than one answer may well be correct,
I'm not telling).
a. Control file from point a
b. Control file from point b
c. Control file from before point c
d. Control file from after point c
e. Control file from point d
f. Recovery is not possible.
I'll reveal the answer in the next 2 days...(and this *IS* a trick question,
so
think carefully).

Clark Griswold: Eddie, has anyone ever told you that you're bad luck?
Cousin Eddie: Those were my mother's dying words. But I guess if your body's
covered in third degree burns, and your foot's caught in a bear trap, you
tend to start talkin' crazy.
