11g was 10g redhat linux. Our developer dropped some code by mistake- Its Friday afternoon!. So I need to restore the DB but its just been converted to 11g from 10 and we were finally sorting out the wrinkles in utl_mail when this happened. so our rman backup is of the database when it was a v10 db. Can RMAN Cope with this? If not any advice? Shooting the developer is not a option! -- Howard A. Latham -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
