And of course remember to make a copy of the online logs before you begin
recovery, so that if anything goes wrong you can try again. (note this is
*not* a contradiction of the wisdom of excluding the online logs from "hot"
backups. Backing of the online logs is a step of recovery (the first if you
agree with me), *not* a part of the backup process (since it is far too easy
for operations to reload them over the top of the online logs you need.)

  List,
  What the difference in doing the following two:
  recover database using backup controlfile until cancel

  This will only be possible if you don't need any archivelogs to have the
database consistant.  If what you need is still in the redo logs than you
can cancel the recovery and it will be ok.
  and
  recover database using backup controlfile
  => Oracle prompt for archive log
  type CANCEL once all archivelogs are done.

  This will work if you have all of the archivelogs needed ir can restore
them from backupsets.  When you have applied all archived logs and there is
only a redo log left, you can cancel.

  You will get a message if you can't do either operation which will let you
know that you won't have a consistant recovery and an open resetlogs will
fail.
  Regards,
  Jos
