Re: Recovery using Rman using old controlfile

If your "current" controlfiles and online redologs are good (not corrupted), you can do
a complete recovery. Just issue RESTORE DATABASE and RECOVER DATABASE commands.

Else, if you find that even the controlfiles and/or last active onlin redo logs are corrupt, you'd
have to do an Incomplete Recovery, using Backup Controlfile.

Note: The default behaviour of the RESTORE command is to restore back to the same location.
