hmm. okay. Oracle's advice sounds wrong, but maybe they have details I don't
have.

Did you possibly restore on-line logs from your tapes? Now at first blush it
would not make sense that they are of a higher sequence number, but if you
had an intervening open resetlogs that could be the case.

If you've overwritten your REAL online logs, then you'll be losing the
changes in them and will have to resort to reset logs.

If those higher numbered logs really are older despite the higher numbers
for sequence (due to the intervening hypothetical reset), then bad things
could happen if you figure out a way to get them to apply.

Of course you made a copy of your online logs immediately before you began
the restore/recovery process, so you can just put those back in place and
try again, right? After all, backing up the online logs is the first step of
any recovery, because that is the thing you can't get them from anywhere on
your backups.

No funny..its not backup controlfiles...

Oracle is telling me just to recreate controlfiles from trace files and the
sequence should be in sync.

expected lower than actual usually means you're doing a recovery with a
backup controlfile.

Did you tell the database you were using a backup controlfile?

Probably you can cancel recovery and start it again with the correct
command.

If you're doing a complete recovery you should *NOT* need to reset.

Good luck

Another version of "vi" for Winduhs can be found at www.cygwin.com. Install
everything and you'll get vim for Winduhs. It can make your Winduhs look
half way decent. Here are commands that you don't frequently see on a
Winduhs workstation: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 SVetsa-IT 1.5.12(0.116/4/2)
2004-11-10 08:34 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin

$ ls -l /usr/bin/vi
lrwxrwxrwx    1 MGogala  Users           7 Nov 24 09:37 /usr/bin/vi ->
vim.exe

VIM is better.

www.vim.org

has syntax highlighting built in and comes with it already set up.
