我们可以想象，如果控制文件是从备份中恢复的，那么数据库在open过程中又将如何呢?

　　首先备份控制文件，打开数据库，增进检查点:
[Oracle@jumper eygle]$ cp control01.ctl control01.ctl.bak
[oracle@jumper eygle]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

　　然后恢复旧的控制文件，mount数据库，转储数据文件头:
[oracle@jumper eygle]$ mv control01.ctl control01.ctl.n
[oracle@jumper eygle]$ mv control01.ctl.bak control01.ctl
[oracle@jumper eygle]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Session altered.

SQL> !























　　我们看控制文件的信息（选择一个文件）:
DATA FILE #4:
(name #4) /opt/oracle/oradata/eygle/eygle01.dbf
creation size=0 block size=8192 status=0xe head=4 tail=4 dup=1
tablespace 4, index=4 krfil=4 prev_file=0
unrecoverable scn: 0x0000.00000000 01/01/1988 00:00:00
Checkpoint cnt:61 scn: 0x0000.002acb1e 08/11/2006 10:44:38

Creation Checkpointed at scn: 0x0000.0015078d 06/06/2006 09:41:54







　　再看数据文件头信息:
FILE HEADER:
Software vsn=153092096=0x9200000, Compatibility Vsn=134217728=0x8000000
Db ID=1407686520=0x53e79778, Db Name='EYGLE'
Activation ID=0=0x0
Control Seq=989=0x3dd, File size=1280=0x500
File Number=4, Blksiz=8192, File Type=3 DATA
Tablespace #4 - EYGLE rel_fn:4
Creation at scn: 0x0000.0015078d 06/06/2006 09:41:54
Backup taken at scn: 0x0000.00000000 01/01/1988 00:00:00 thread:0

status:0x0 root dba:0x00000000 chkpt cnt: 64 ctl cnt:63
begin-hot-backup file size: 0
Checkpointed at scn: 0x0000.002acb98 08/11/2006 10:46:24












　　我们注意到数据文件的chkpt cnt: 64 要大约控制文件的Checkpoint cnt:61，也就是说控制文件是旧的。

　　此时尝试打开数据库就会出现如下错误:
[oracle@jumper udump]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

　　Oracle告诉我们，控制文件是旧的。此时我们可以通过重建控制文件或者从旧的数据备份开始恢复。
