I'm trying to recover a table from an old level 0 backup, Unfortunately it looks like 2 archivelogs must have been deleted in the middle of the backup and are not available for restore. I've recovered up to the latest archivelog I have before the gap, but can't open the database. Would setting _allow_resetlogs_corruption=true let me open it? The database only needs to be open for a few hours to do some queries and then I'll be trashing it. Jay Miller Sr. Oracle DBA 201.369.8355 -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
