His last cold backup of the datafiles is his only option. Without the online redologs, assuming that he lost the physical files, he will have to create a controlfile with the resetlogs option and open the database in the same mode. Is my assumption true? Was he backing up only data files and the database was in archivelog mode?
Allan -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 2:10 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi All, One of my friends has a database crash. He has no backup of online redo and archived log files. His question is How do you recover the database if all the online redologfiles and all archived files are lost ? Don't ask me why he did not have any backups or mirror online redo.
