I noticed there are more and more entries in my catalog and my database controlfiles the backup process is slowing. I want to remove backups vi script for 8i databases in RMAN. When I issue the 'delete expired backup;' command it prompts me yes or no to confirm the delete. Has anyone created a maintenance script that handles the prompt? In 9i you can turn the prompt off.

My apologies.
I missed your post stating that your version is 8i.

Still, you can use this method.

Deleting Expired Backups

The following example checks the media manager for expired backups of the tablespace USER_DATA that are more than one month old and removes their catalog records:

crosscheck backup of tablespace user_data completed before 'SYSDATE-31';
delete expired backup of tablespace user_data' completed before 'SYSDATE-31';
release channel;

I just can't figure out how to handle the prompt in a shell script in 8i. I know the syntax if I log in and do it manually.
