RE: What are the common mistakes DBA do retarding backup & Recovery?

I wonder if part of this is that 10g is still fairly new in terms of adoption at many companies and that in many places there is not yet an overriding need for flashback technologies. I think as time goes on this will change as more features take advantage of flashback technologies. Also it's a new technology and it seems that new technologies like Flashback take some time to get integrated into SOP.

Cheers!

  Interesting comments by all oracle Gurus, I never saw any body taking advantage of Flashback database in my circle. Flash recovery area, Flashback table,Flashback Drop, query etc all are some sky birds for most companies....
