You can still recover from a database in noarchivelog mode.  You need to
restore from a cold backup, perform a recover until cancel and open with
resetlogs.  Sometimes, this will result in the system scn being
incorrect.  When this happens, just perform a recover and open and you
should be up and running.

Subject: no archivelog incomplete recovery?


I am studying for the OCP, and one of the practice test questions is how
to recover from a lost active online redo log in noarchivelog mode.  the
answer they give is to restore a consistent backup, startup in mount
mode, perform a cancel based recovery, and open with resetlogs.

Is that answer correct?  I didnt think you could do a recovery if you
arent in archivelog mode.
