Is it possible to restore dropped table OR wrongly updated table using RMAN backup.
Or we have to take daily export for this purpose......

Yes, you can restore dropped table from an rman backup, but unfortunately it involves first restore and PIT recovery to new instance and then export the table from there.

RMAN, itself, cannot restore tables. You can use TSPITR (Tablespace Point In Time Recovery) to restore an entire tablespace via an Auxiliary Instance.
If you want only one table, you have to do a Manual RESTORE+RECOVER of the tablespace that contains the table (PLUS SYSTEM, SYSAUX and UNDO) *INTO A SEPERATE DATABASE INSTANCE* and then export that one table out of that database instance.

U mean First I have to restore entire RMAN backup to another machine then export desire table...... And finally import it into affected DB.
If it is so.....
Then I thing we have to take daily export also for this purpose....
Am I right...

No it is not possible..

Flashback?
Again, it depends on how you define "best".

IIRC incremental export is no more supported since a couple of versions.

The best is solution is... flashback.
Recycle bin and "flashback to before drop" command against drop table.
Flashback logs and "flashback database" command against delete/truncate.

What to use in Oracle 9i.

RMAN, restore, recover and export/import.
If you use a 10 years old product you have 10 years old features.

Error Correction Support for Incremental Export ended 31-Dec-1999 and Extended Assistance Support ended 31-Dec-2002.

Incremental Export actually exports the whole table for every table that has had at least one modified row.
So, if your 1TB database consists of 400 tables at least 1 row in 320 of them has been modified (insert/update/delete), those 320 tables will be exported in their entirety.

The Backup-Restore method doesn't require the whole database to be restored -- only the SYSTEM, UNDO, SYSAUX Tablespaces and the datafiles that contain the table you need to access (you don't really have to restore the whole tablespace if you have a map of which datafiles contain that table - e.g. from dba_extents).

So I conclude RMAN backup is not for single table restore (logical error) Even It is for physical error like datafile lost etc....
Am I right..

Yes it is MAINLY for that but there is NO direct recovery tool.
With an export you lose ALL modifications since the exports and as I said can you export 1TB each day?
Read again my previous posts, there is the solution.

I understand I cannot export 1TB daily. even using incremental.
But if I have about 5G daily export than I can do export daily....
with RMAN backup parallel.

Above all when it no more exists!

And you accept to lose the current day modifications.

Why not configuring flasback if this is a real concern for you?

AS your previous post
"RMAN, restore, recover and export/import.
If you use a 10 years old product you have 10 years old features."

Unfortunately I am using that release i.e. 9i....
I cannot upgrade it to 10g to get flashback power...
