Mladen, In metaphorically de-referencing a backup thread as a rope, and then comparing to OPS, RAC, etc. you are possibly forcing the generic, helpless, anonymous and witless DBA to make a major purchasing decision which could result in massive failures in his IT department, general business failure, loss of job, family, and indeed life. I think you are a very bad and malicious person. You should be passed no more pointers to metaphors, and set to "moderated" status. Perhaps only then you'd learn how to behave in a large yet delicate and fragile community of DBAs. There, I said it. I feel better. -----Original Message----- From: Mladen Gogala [mailto:gogala@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sat 7/10/2004 9:28 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: Re: RMAN Questions On 07/10/2004 06:19:40 PM, Jay wrote: > I have few RMAN questions.

A malicious and bad person would suggest you to read the f***ing manual, but, as I've said before, I'm a nice guy, so I will not say anything like that. > > > 3)restore database until sequence 100 thread 1; > > what is "thread 1"? A long, thin string, first among the many. Bundled together, you can call them a rope, OPS or RAC, depending on the material they're made of. > > Thanks > Jay Michael from Utah will probably have something to say about your question, but please, pay no attention.
