In my previous post "database recovery using backup controlfile" I discussed about how to recover a database by losing all controlfile and restoring it from a previous cold backup. In this topic I am discussing very much the same topic ,but there is a difference indeed. Lets think about what will happen to the recovery process if there any structural change happens to the database after the last successful bakcup of the controlfile that we have ? Lets simulate the scenario and see what will happen.

Note here we had
two issues :-
The restored
controlfile doesn't know the datafile of the new Tablespace (and doesn't know
the Tablespace). The controlfile maintains a map of the physical structure of
the database. You have to update this with an ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE ..
in the same manner as you would have to do if this were a Standby Database.
Since the redo log file that contains the last transactions (including the CREATE TABLESPACE) hasn't been archived, it is not "visible" as an archivelog to apply. You must apply the Redo Log itself.
