Oracle 19c Point in Time Recovery of a Table in Pluggable Database

In this post I am creating a scenario to recover a table data.

Point in time recovery:-

RMAN database point-in-time recovery (DBPITR) restores the database from RMAN backups.

RMAN will be consider all ( required ) backups (full, incremental, transactional) to restore or roll forward to the desire time.

Point in time recovery may be incomplete recovery because it does not use all the available archive logs files or completely recover all changes to your database.

If you want to recover your database to the exact date/time in the past, use RMAN point in time recovery.

Steps:

1) Enable Database in Archive mode.

mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/product/19c/dbhome_1/dbs/arch

[oracle@dbserver ~]$ sqlplus '/as sysdba'
