Hi all, Just a general question about controlfiles. I was ready the archive messages for this list and found out that controlfiles are updated everytime a checkpoint happens. Can anyone list any other reasons an update would happen to the controlfiles? Thanks, Lyall Barbour -- We've Got Your Name @ www.mail.com!!!
