Okay, We used the following syntax to recover a database ALTER DATABASE RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL TIME '2006-05-10:09:00:00' USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE Some of the archive files said "no longer needed for recovery" Now, we are told there are rows missing from the night of the 9th (i.e. the night before). Help :)! --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Call regular phones from your PC and save big.
