Correct. But what I would do is.

1. backup all control,redo,and datafiles of database
2. restore the database to before the table was lost
3. recover to a point in time before the file was dropped
4. export the needed file.
5. restore the database from step 1
6. import the missing file from the export in step 4.

This way you don't loose anything except time.

Can someone do a sanity check please. Oracle 7.3.3 on NT 4.0 (SP5)

If a user has dropped an important table which MUST be restored the only way this can be done (without use of an up to date export) is to

1. Restore the WHOLE database from the last backup with all archived redo logs
2. Roll the database forward to a point in time just before the user fouled up
3. Open the database with RESETLOGS

Am I correct in thinking there is no way to restore just the affected tablespace without touching the rest of the database.

Thanks
