Something I'm not understanding about rman backup and restore.

Maybe this has been asked before, but please hear me out:

1. I have a schema, say XYZ, with some tables.

2. I take a backup of the database, including archive logs, control file and spfile.

3. I drop the schema XYZ

4. I restore and recover the database using the backup taken in step 2.

5. When I try to change to XYZ, it does not exist!

Am  I missing something? Logically, it was a complete recovery and the  schema should have been restored to the point before the drop.

Howdy, Stranger!
