without me being there to see what is going on,
I don't even know if the OP was using the right controlfile.
It's obvious we're dealing with a person of little experience.
As such, while to you and I and a lot of other dbas the
steps are obvious, that does not allow us to assume this
person is looking at it correctly. For all I know, the controlfile
used for that display could have been from a backup! The safest
option is to have them verify what is going on but without
touching anything. Hence the request for strings: touches
nothing, harms nothing. Why is that so hard to see?
