RMAN duplicate works great. It'll perform the restore, recovery,
rename the database, and change the dbid without much thought on your
end. You can use "set until" just like with recovery to be selective
on what "image" you use to create your destination database.
No need to pre-build an instance (as would be needed if using transportable tablespaces)... you'll simply need to have the binaries on your dev/test environment, copy/modify the pfile, create the password file, then kick off the duplicate.
When you're done, just add data files to your temp tablespace, and you're in business. Received on Thu Sep 15 2005 - 09:58:44 CDT
