database in backup mode
Hi Guys,
If I put my database in backup mode and perform the backup (hotbackup/online) of the database.
When I need to do restoration, do I need any archive logs at all? (not necessary to recover up to point in time) Can i just restore the datafiles and do a alter database open resetlogs?
Will the database be inconsistent and can't startup without applying any archive logs at all? as the datatabase is not shutdown when doing the backup.
thanks
