RE: RE : RMAN Repository

[Brian McGraw]

I hadn’t heard that the repository was going away.    I did hear, however, at the IOUG meeting last year, that the reporting mechanisms were going to be significantly enhanced, putting it on par with the repository-based reporting.  That came directly from one of the Oracle RMAN strategists, if I recall correctly.   Brian ---------------------------------------------- | Brian McGraw /* DBA */  Infinity Insurance | | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | ---------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Gene Sais Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 9:50 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: RE : RMAN Repository   Interesting thread, since I am just embarking on using RMAN.  If the repository is to go away then why bother learning the intricacies of it.  Has anyone else heard the RMAN repository was going away?  It appears much simpler to setup w/out the repository.  Besides reporting advantages, what are the real benefits to using a repository?   Thanks, Gene PS. Now reading Robert's book.  >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/08/03 05:19PM >>> its a pain in the arse but you have to pull out the backed up controlfile(you did backup the controlfile, eh?) out of the rman backup piece(i've got a script that will do it automagically based on the filename pieces you pass it). then once the backed up controlfile is restored, then you can do normal recovery procedure. joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >And how does one go about restoring a database when all control files >are lost, and the only recovery data is stored in the control file? > >This doesn't sound very reasonable. > >Jared > > > > > > >"Deshpande, Kirti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 01/08/2003 11:44 AM > Please respond to ORACLE-L > > >        To:     Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >        cc: >        Subject:        RE : RMAN Repository > > >Joe, > That's what I have heard (from 2 Oracle University >Professors/Lecturers/Demonstrators).
