Do you back up your database with RMAN? If the answer to at least one of these questions is 'yes' then you can recover your database. Look at the advice listed here. If you have a manual backup of the control file you can restore from that instead; the Oracle docs has the relevant steps here –APC Apr 3 '15 at 11:04 Since when is this error occurring? What were the recent changes? Did you change any permissions at OS level? Did you accidentally delete any files? Get the control files name and locations, copy the missing one and rename it to appropriate name and start the database. –Lalit Kumar B Apr 3 '15 at 11:04 Thank you all! Bob Jarvis, no the control file doesn't e

Are they there? Did they get corrupted? Did someone chmod them so that the database could not read/write to them? Are you using the wrong init/spfile? You can also look through the alert log and see which control files were used that last time the database started successfully. this space intentionally left blank Reply With Quote 09-08-2009,01:45 PM #3 ambi_001 View Profile View Forum Posts Junior Member Join Date Sep 2009 Posts 10 ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, Thanks fr ur reply Mr gandolf i hv sent u the alert log details pls go tru this ull come to know i think Starting up ORACLE RDBMS Version: 10.2.0.1.0.

control file (ORA-00205) when mounting database I was testing RMAN restore scenario on one of the test databases and I came across "ORA-00205" error. It seemed very strange why Oracle is not able to find my control files when they are lying there.

Alert log is always handy to drill down for details and even this time it was helpful. Following is the excerpt from the alert log.

If you notice, Oracle is trying to locate one control file and is failing to identify it and alas failing. It was a small mistake where I missed to separate the two files with a comma. After the correction, Oracle happily mount
