RE: problem with recovery

Just try cancelling the recovery.  If it is an online redo log the database
should open.

Subject: problem with recovery


While all tablespaces were in backup mode,
Oracle reported corruption in the controlfiles
and crashed.=20

A checksum of the controlfiles found them to be identical,=20
so I re-created them.  Then I took the datafiles out
of backup mode.

When I went to open the database, oracle tells me that
the datafiles still need recovery, and that the archive
file needed is sequence #15339.  But this is the online
redo logfile that was the current file at time of crash.

How do I get Oracle to see the online file rather than=20
looking for an archive file?

I cannot use 'alter system switch logfile' to=20
get oracle to archive the onlines because the database is not
open.

I've also attempt

alter database archive log file '....';

alter database recover  logfile '...';

Both of these commands are invalide after re-creating the controlfile.


I even tried copying the online file to the correct name in=20
the archive directory.  Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?
