Kumanan,

Yes, you can easily do this as long as you have the datafiles for the system tablespace and the datafiles for any RBS tablespaces used by online RBS's.

This procedure is documented in metalink note: 96197.1 "Recovering a Dropped Table from a Full Database Backup"

The recovery process will skip datafiles that are offline or missing (i.e. by recreating the controlfile and omitting the files that haven't been restored).

They will still belong to the db, of course, until the tablespace(s) to which they belong are dropped. So after opening the db if you attempt to access any of the blocks located in the omitted datafile you'll get an ORA-376 "datafile not available."

HTH,

• Anita
