RE: Duplicate online Database

[Ofer Harel]

Edouard hello,   if the database is not heavy updateable, i.e., the switching of redo log is rare, and the database is not too large, you can try this scenario: 1. copy (operation system) all the datafiles, redo log, etc..     you need to copied the hall database without a redo log switch in the middle. 2. Act with those files as its a hot backup 3. Recover the database using a 'backup controlfile to trace' 4. It work to me   if you need more, email     regards Ofer Harel DBA team Barak ITC [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----Original Message----- From: Edouard Dormidontov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:39 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Duplicate online Database I need to duplicate online database Oracle 8.1.7. It is not possible to shutdown the primary database. Can I do online backup this primary database by RMAN, and + using archivelogs create duplicate database? Inconsistent backups of RMAN + archivelogs = duplicate database??   Thanks Edouard Dormidontov
