Morning Niall,

Hmmm. That's the problem. I can restore and recover up to that point but
I'm warned about inconsistencies if/when I open reset logs. I haven't
found a position in the log sequence that gives me a consistent
database. Most "interesting" indeed.

I know the clone has been successfully used already as I have cloned the
production database to the reporting database already (a while back)
using it - not a problem there.

NID etc is the solution in Robert's case study. I'm quite happy to do
that - I just need a usable database first!

Ah well, I'll keep looking/trying!


Cheers,
Norman.
