Parameters

RECOVER DATABASE

Initiates media recovery on the entire database. The database must be mounted but not open.

RECOVER TABLESPACE tablespace_name

Initiates media recovery on the specified tablespace or list of tablespaces (up to a maximum of 16). The tablespace(s) must be offline, and the database must be mounted and open.

RECOVER DATAFILE datafile_name

Initiates media recovery on the specified datafile or list of datafiles. The datafiles to be recovered must be offline. As long as none of the datafiles are part of the SYSTEM tablespace, the database may remain open.

UNTIL CANCEL

Allows you to recover one log file at a time, with the opportunity to cancel after each log file has been processed.
