Sorry for the late response, you probably are long done with your partial restore - but I'll add my $0.00002 cents to the discussion:

When I have done these partial restores I have limited my create controlfile script to only system, rollback, and the tablespaces I wanted. I have ONLY had success when I have listed the SYSTEM and ROLLBACK datafiles FIRST in the create controlfile script - I have gotten 600 errors otherwise - just my experience. Roll the database forward, open it, and pull out what you need.... I usually build a DB link and copy the data

to another database rather than exporting it.     I don't drop the
datafiles I don't need - just let them get marked as "missing".     This is

obviously a *very* temporary database and after I get what I need I blow it up.

I'm sure there are other methods of doing this - this works for me.

           I can't think of anything you're missing. I recall that

read-only
tablespaces if you have any must be offline, but maybe that is only for a database restore, not a tablespace restore. I assume you have a plan to move
the tables back to your production system, maybe just export/import if they are small.

Hi all:

I'm doing a partial restore of a database in order to recover two lost tables. I figured I would only need to restore the tablespaces where the tables are stored,
SYSTEM and RBS tablespaces. I will also need to restore
to a specific point in time (last Friday).

I'm a little less clear on what I will have to do after the restore of the datafiles, archived logs and controlfile is done. I will need to recover the datafiles, drop all other datafiles that I don't need and open the database in resetlogs mode. Is that a good plan or am I missing something?

thanks

Gene
