I practice backup and recovery and experience weird result, oh may Oracle bug or may be my method is incorrect.
Here is what I have Fact: Time 1 -> Cold backup Time 2 -> Create table Time 2.1 -> insert few records Time 2.2 -> alter system switch logfile; (5 times)
Recovery: I try to recover database with Time 1 cold backup (including the control file) and Time 2 archive redolog.
Step:
1. Restore Cold Backup 2. Startup mount (started) 3. recover database until cancel using backup control file;
