SOLVED: URGENT: need help by point in time recovery

Hi Ray,

the instance has only one data and one index tablespace. Hole database is only 1.5 gig.

I solved my problem. I restored a cold backup to another instance and then I recreated my controlfile and recoverd my database in time. Then I've exported my lost table and imported it to production. Everything works fine.

Thanks to all who replied

Regards

This reminds me of something I always wanted to try to work out. It seems like you should be able to rebuild part of a db, so that the recovery of a certain tables data would be faster. That way you don't spend the time reading all the datafiles for all the TS you don't need to recover.

Could you just edit the trace control file to change the structure of the db, so that the only user TS is the one of interest?
