Hello *,

Odd problem i had after i had shut down the database (immediate) and
made a media copy. After restoring and opening with resetlogs, the
database stated it wanted a recovery. After i did a recover until
cancel, and cancelled immediately on first occasion, the database
started.

I ignored this incident, but now i am curious about this entry in the
logfile. Yesterday, i did again a shutdown immediate ( i never do
abort) ,  made a copy of the database and restarted the database. In
the errorlog, it seems that a crash recovery occured. This shoudn't
happen? What am i missing?

Where's the log output from the shutdown immediate that you are
claiming completed successfully?

My shot in the dark is that you either did not get a good shutdown
( but asssumed that you did ) ... or that you restored something
( else ) that was not from a clean shutdown.- Hide quoted text -

After that, I did a backup, NOT a restore. I restarted the database
and then the crash recovery appeared - very odd. Oracle 9.2.0.8  64-
bits AIX

I will soon have to restore, i'm curious what will happen...- Hide quoted text -

Your initial post said you did a "restore" not a backup. Why did you
open reset logs intead of just opening the database normally? Reset
logs is usually on issued after a restore.

Do a shutdown immedate, make a cold backup, and restart normally and
you will not see any errors or crash recovery messages since the
control file, database files, and online redo log would all be in
sync.
