You do not need a remote connection to restore a database via RMAN. In fact if you needed to be remote, it would mean there was something wrong with the server, heh?
Have you created the password file and put the proper user IDs into it and set the init.ora
parameter applicable to exclusive?
In fact to restore a database you do not use sqlplus, you use rman. Received on Wed Oct 27 2004 - 19:13:40 CDT
