Re: archecker: restore table-level data (IDS 10)
Posted in 2005
In short filtering is not allowed when you do logical
recovery. You must do a physical only restore.
To do a physical only restore you must specific this
in the schema command file, NOT at the command line.
The command line only limits the execution of phases.
RESTORE TO CURRENT WITH NO LOGS

This is correct, you may not apply filters when doing logical recovery.

NO. NO NO.
This does not do physical recovery only, but just runs the phsycail
recovery phase, it assume that more phases (i.e. the logical recovery
phases) will be cominig.
