There are Oracle® Database-specific limitations and requirements for performing this type of recovery. To perform recovery successfully, review the following requirements and limitations (for more information, including a complete list of constraints, see the table-level recovery information in your Oracle documentation).
The following example recovers three tables of an Oracle® user,
sales, to a specific SCN using a fully automated auxiliary instance for which the required files are populated in a Linux
® or UNIX
® directory,
/oracle/nvbu_pitr_auxiliary_destination, which you created before running recovery.
Using the remap table option, the following example recovers two of the three selected tables to a new table with a different name. (The third table is recovered with the same name as the original.)
By default, RMAN imports the recovered tables or table partitions into the target database. Before import, the tables are stored in an export dump file. You can use the NOTABLEIMPORT option to prevent RMAN from importing the recovered tables or table partitions. If you use this option, the tables are recovered to the specified point, and the export dump file is created, but the dump file is not imported into the target database. At that point, you can analyze the tables using the auxiliary instance, or manually import the dump file into the target database instance using the Oracle Data Pump Import utility.
