Hi

This is maybe a beginner's question, however - I never actually thought about 
it previously.

So, when we start "recover database using backup controlfile until cancel" 
Oracle will provide suggestion:

ORA-00289: suggestion: <some file name here>
ORA-00280: change XYZ for thread 1 is in sequence #ABC

How does Oracle actually know that change XYZ is in particular sequence? If we 
have controlfile created from trace, where else we have this pair (change, 
sequence) stored?
