I wish I felt like a young whippersnapper. Niall did a presentation at UKPUG
this week that made me feel very old and my younger colleague was nudging me
constantly with a smirk on his face.
What do you mean by cloning a database by flashback Bambi? I am not sure that
option exists, even in 11g. You can flashback a database to a point in time
using recover points but actually cloning a database is new to me.
We are currently experimenting with doing an EM database clone (which uses RMAN
behind the scenes anyway). Some success but if a few iffies with a Peoplesoft
database still to resolve. Duplicate database is the way to go though. As Niall
says, it can be speeded up and is pretty simple, especially if you can get it
all scripted (and maybe use OMF files).
