I know the Oracle documents about 'CREATE CONTROLFILE':
[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_5003.htm]
but i don't understand the following statements:
REUSE
Specify REUSE to indicate that existing control files identified by the initialization parameter CONTROL_FILES can be reused, overwriting any information they may currently contain. If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error.
Please Note the last statements:If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error.
i try a test ,nomatter the control files exists or not , it can re-create the new control files . it doesn't occur an error.
i'm confusing,what's this statements meaning ?
If you omit this clause and any of these control files already exists, then Oracle Database returns an error
