Is it possible in RMAN 10g session to ask a question and get the user response? I want to run the command: Rman>delete obsolete; Then have the user be asked a question like: Do you want to delete the obsolete backupsets? Have the user supply Yes or No and the script continue. I see in 11g you can use substitution variables, but not 10g? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
