在oracle10g之前使用resetlogs打开数据库之后，之前的的备份就不能用于恢复了。即不能进行跨resetlogs时间点的恢复。所以要求执行完之后马上进行全库备份。
Oracle10g以后允许跨越resetlogs时间点进行完全或者不完全恢复。实验如下：
- 执行全库备份。
RMAN> backup database plus archivelog delete all input;
insert into test select * from test;
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL> truncate table test;
Table truncated.
SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
SQL> select * from v$log_history;
SQL> select recid,stamp,sequence#,first_change#,first_time,next_change# from v$log_history

- 关闭数据库、删除数据模拟故障
删除之后，执行如下
RMAN> startup mount;
Oracle instance started
database mounted
Total System Global Area 599785472 bytes
Fixed Size 2022600 bytes
Variable Size 268436280 bytes

Redo Buffers 6365184 bytes
RMAN> run{
set until sequence 12 thread 1;
restore database;
recover database;
}
这里判断具体到那个sequence，当前查询如下，历史查看v$log_history的sequence#：
Sql>archive log list;
如果出现这个错误：
SQL> recover database until cancel;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
SQL> recover database BACKUP CONTROLFILE
ORA-00905: missing keyword
解决：
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
查看序号是否复位：
SQL> archive log list;
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 0
Next log sequence to archive 1

Oracle保留了resetlogs之前的日志序列号，并且日志recid继续增长，控制文件也保留了归档日志的序列。所以可以跨RESETLOGS进行恢复。10g以前 是不能够使用当前控制文件恢复之前的备份的。
RMAN> run {
2> restore database;
3> recover database;
4> }
SQL> select count(*) from tt;
COUNT(*)
----------
208
恢复能够完成，还有log_archive_format有关系。
Sql>show parameter log_archive_format
log_archive_format string archive_%t_%s_%r.log
这里的%R是oracle新增的参数,是resetlogs的标志号.这一归档日志格式可以是不同Incarnation的数据库归档日志避免相互覆盖，从而跨越resetlogs恢复的日志基础得以保证。
思考：这里看到rman备份只有一次，是在resetlogs之前，第二次完全恢复是基于之前的备份。这里看到oracle10确实是越过了resetlog执行了恢复。
