Gary - send the developer to backup and recovery school.

he is wrong.  as Rachel said, *maybe* it will work once.  but as a DBA, you
personally can *never* support this in a real environment.  you will not be
able to guarantee the same results every time.

All...

A developer working on a Solaris 2.6 server running Oracle 7.3.4 desires
a nightly backup (by simply copying them to a backup directory) of the
datafiles of an active instance.  I explain that it will be a waste of
tape because the files will be corrupt and useless.  He counters, "As
long as these files are there, irrespective of their state, oracle [sic]
provides the tools to restore the skeleton database based on these
files."

Will this be the case?  I understand that there will [most likely] be
some loss of data, but will Oracle "fix" itself to a point where it's
useful again?  TIA
