3. However, they chose to restore the control file from tape. This invalidated their database.
Maybe I'm missing the obvious, but why does this invalidate their database? Don't you just do RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE ?
(Agreed that it would be quicker to swap in a non-corrupt multiplexed copy but can't see why it should have been a disaster.).
Thanks - Bill.
