听说过还原(restore)数据库，表空间及数据库文件，使用归档日志恢复(recover)数据库，表空间，数据库文件。咦，还有还原归档日志这一说法呢？没错，可能我们忽略了还原归档日志这一个过程，原因是还原归档日志通常情况下是Oracle在recover时自动完成的。大多数情况下我们是先还原数据库，恢复数据库，打开数据库。实际上在恢复数据库之前有一个动作，那就是还原归档日志，也就是将日志文件还原到缺省的归档位置，如果我们在备份归档日志时使用了delete [all] input子句的话。本文对此给出了单独还原归档日志以及恢复归档日志的示例以及restore archivelog的一些用法，仅仅是为了更好来的理解还原与恢复的过程，因为大多数情形下,数据文件被还原到缺省路径。如果是还原到非缺省路径，那就需要手动restore archivelog。
1、理解还原与恢复
还原(restore): 还原指将数据文件(可能受损)用之前的备份来替代或者复制到新的路径，这个是大多数情形和通常的说法。
恢复(recover): 将备份之后的归档日志apply到数据库，也就根据归档日志的事务将数据库刷新到特定或最新状态(通常在还原之后操作)。对于归档日志中那些已提交的事务进行前滚，未提交的事务进行回滚。
还原归档日志: 还原归档日志是位于还原数据库与恢复数据库之间的这么一个过程。它会将那些在备份归档日志时使用delete [all] input方式删除的归档日志还原到缺省的归档位置。在还原数据库之后，如果要做recover，也就是作介质恢复那就需要用到归档日志。那还原之后进行
recover需要的归档日志在哪里呢？归档日志在指定的归档路径那里，那到底有没有呢？如果有，还原时出现提示，归档日志已经在指定位置。
如果没有，但是备份的归档备份集那里有，也行啊。备份集里包含备份片，也就是打包了归档日志。那既然打包就要解包，解包到缺省路径或指定路径。这就是还原归档日志。
2、示例演示还原归档日志
--演示环境
--为了较好的模拟还原归档日志,我们仅仅使用了一个特定的数据文件进行copy方式备份，然后备份归档日志(备份时删除归档日志)
--接下来破坏数据文件，还原数据文件，还原归档日志文件，恢复日志文件。

3、restore archivelog 的其它用法
restore archivelog all; 还原全部归档日志文件
restore archivelog from logseq 27 ; 还原log sequence为27之后的所有归档日志
restore archivelog from logseq 27 until logseq 29; 还原log sequence为27到29这几个归档日志
restore archivelog from time 'sysdate-7'; 还原七天以内的归档日志
restore archivelog until logseq 29; 还原到seqence 为29的日志文件为止
set archivelog destination to '/u01/database/sybo5/arch';设定还原日志文件到新路径，如
run{
set archivelog destination to '/u01/database/sybo5/arch';
restore archivelog low logseq 27;}
