Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> QqRE: RMAN Recovery without Catalog
As OWS, said, the recovery catalog is going to become obsolete. The caveat
is that it is not yet. I found that it is still much better to use a
catalog rather than depend on the controlfiles. The bleeding edge is not
always comfortable. There are some things that become nearly impossible to
do with out a catalog. One thing is that the controlfile doesnt' do an auto
controlfile backup of the controlfile at the end of a backup, therefore it
only knows about the backupsets from previous backups. I don't know if this
speaks to your questions, but I know that after having to manually and
painfully recover a couple of times I switched back to using a recovery
catalog. Then you can duplicated a database to another server with ease.
Regards,
Ruth

I was a bit confused.. whether it stores all the information in control
file
for 8i databases also or has started doing it from 9i.
