Re: recovery error

I guess I didn't make myself real clear. My main issue is why the recover database didn't appear to work as I expected.  

SVRMGR> recover database until time '2004-07-01:04:30:00'; Media recovery complete.
The above recover command completed in a second which is way too fast for a days worth of data.  

Querying v$datafile after the recover command finished shows the checkpoint_time and last_time to still be 6/30 AM where I would expect '2004-07-01 04:30:00' after recovery complete.    

STATUS  CHECKPOINT CHECKPOINT_TIME     LAST_TIME 
        _CHANGE# 
------- ---------- ------------------- ------------------- 
SYSTEM 581863533 2004-06-30 04:02:52 2004-06-30 04:02:52 ONLINE 581863533 2004-06-30 04:02:52 2004-06-30 04:02:52 2 rows selected.  

My main concern is why the instance didn't recover to 7/1. Anyone have any insight into this I'd appreciate it.  

My secondary concern was which files do I need to re-recover due to the alter system archive log all command being issued even though the instance wasn't recovered thru 7/1/04. Can I just try to do the recover over with some different syntax?  

SVRMGR> recover database until time '2004-07-01:04:30:00'; Media recovery complete.
SVRMGR> ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL;
Statement processed.  

Oracle 8.1.7.3  

Thanks - Mike

I guess your restored datafiles are newer than 7/1 at 4:30 AM.

And, as others noted, after recover until time, you did an incomplete recovery. You must open database resetlogs before doing other things.
