I backuped a tablespace, dropped a table within in, restore & and recover tablespace, but could not get the table back.

Why ?


SQL> create tablespace test4 datafile '+DB_DATA' size 20m;

Tablespace created.

SQL> create table t4 ( dt date) tablespace test4;

Table created.

SQL> insert into t4 values ( sysdate);

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> select * from t4;

You recover the tablespace to the current time and and its time the table no more exists.

If you want to get back your table you have to recover until time just before drop.

Thanks for the tips, Michel.

Also Flashback is useful.
