Question database move - create controlfile open database options

edited Jul 27, 2014 5:00AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi,

I have a database that will be moving from it's current server to a new server.   The plan is to use the backup of the database, restore the database on the new server and apply archive logs to the database until the server is ready to be swapped out (probably for a day or 2)    The database name will rename the same.  I've read quite a few discussions but I want to be sure.   When I restore the database on the new server, while creating the controlfile, I'm thinking I will use:

CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE DBNAME RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG, then apply logs until ready to perform the move.   Prior to performing the move, copy control files and redo logs from the old server to the new server.  When I open the database, I will then use ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.   Does this sound correct?   Thanks for you feedback. 

Howdy, Stranger!
