RE: Is DATAFILE order important in CREATE CONTROLFILE?

But you assume too much. We have three copies of our production system to three different test/dev/playground databases. First, is our nightly hot backup that gets started up as a new instance (on the prod server) for our users as a playground after the datafiles are put to tape. Second is our weekly test backup to a dev server. And third is an on-demand (quarterly or less) copy to the dev area on the dev server. And, no I don't think this scheme is necessarily a good idea, but I've been out-voted many times.

And all this is why I'm making a very flexible set of Perl scripts -- to handle these situations and more with less maintenance work in the long-run.
