RE: Restore Controlfile from Autobackup Question

I still question the need to keep the same DBID and the need to restore from autobackup. It would be much easier and faster to just do a regular DUPLICATE DATABASE, and even if you don't want to do that and you need/prefer to do it the more difficult manual way, there is still no need to restore fom autobackup, you should be able to just do a regular RESTORE CONTROLFILE. Restoring from autobackup tends to be slower, especially if you're doing a PIT restore from an old controlfile.
