Hi Folks,

just a quick question:
when restoring my archive log database completely after a crash or shutdown abort with the command recover database (same with backup controlfile), Oracle 8.0.6.1.0 is permanently asking for one more Archive log than available/existing and therefore does not successfully recover (ora-00308), except I do a until cancel or time which I do not want.
The simple 'recover database' command is not properly working, same with the using backup controlfile amendment.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks, Jascha.

why are you restoring after a crash or shutdown abort? Did you lose any datafiles? If NO, then don't restore anything. SMON will do INSTANCE RECOVERY automatically for you.

If you are losing a datafile. Then you need to restore, and if you do not have all the redo logs generated since the backup, then you are stuck with INCOMPLETE RECOVERY (recover until cancel/time).
