Good evening,

Part of my staging/dev refresh process involves taking an image copy backup
of prod datafiles and controlfiles and firing up a new instance from them.
The first thing I do when mounting the new database is to turn off
flashback. However recently we're seeing that the time to mount takes
almost 40 minutes while the instance creates a new flashback log. Seems
silly to have to wait for this when we plan to disable it right away anyway.

Is there a way to disable flashback database without having to mount? I'm
guessing the worst case scenario is having to create a trace of the
controlfile and create a new one with flashback disabled.

Don.
