Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: 1/2 control file failure - will database halt?
If you have a single corrupted database, replace the bad copy with the good one and restart the database. You should only have to modify the init.ora if the location of the corrupted or missing control file is not reachable. Each control file contains the exact same information. You have multiple control files to protect against losing all your control information.

I've been told a single control file failure will halt the database, even if you've got another control file on a second device; that the database will only come up again after editing the init.ora to remove the reference to the faulty control file and initiating a fresh startup.
Is this still true, if it ever was true for any version of Oracle, for Oracle 8.X+? The person who warned me about the halt has been using Oracle since version 5.
Thanks very much.
