Greetings,
I had a database on an old P4 running but the motherboard got fried. I was able to recover all the data files (.ctl and *.dbf) plus the redo logs (.log). There is no export or backup taken - I have old ones, but I need to recover the latest which only existed in the data files.
I now have Oracle installed on a new P5 machine and was wondering if it is possible to use these data files in the new database? If so, how do I go by restoring the data files?
Both the P4 and P5 where running Red Hat Linux.
Thanks,
Marcel
