Hi Listers, I have few RMAN questions. 1) What is the difference between a)restore controlfile; b)restore controlfile from autoback; a)restore controlfile restores from catalog, how about the next one? 2)set maxcorrupt for datafile 3 to 7 maxcorrupt parameter will be set to datafile 3,4,5,6 and 7. Am I correct? If so, what is the value of maxcorrupt? 3)restore database until sequence 100 thread 1; what is "thread 1"?
