Hi.......

it is writen in documentation like this:
--------------------------------------------

If a datafile is damaged and no backup of the file is available, then you can still recover the datafile by ALTER DATABASE CTREAT DATAFILE statment if:

1- All archived log files written after the creation of the original datafile are available
2- The control file contains the name of the damaged file (that is, the control file is current, or is a backup taken after the damaged datafile was added to the database)
--------------------------------------------

the second condition socend part (or is a backup taken after the damaged datafile was added to the database) ok when you recovered a controlfile by a backup controlfile taken after a damaged datafile was added to database it will contain the damaged datafile name but how???? because when u recover a controlfile by a backup controlfile then u have to open DATABASE by RESETLOG option only so you will lose all old archived log information which are necessary to recreate a datafile then depend to documentation hos second condition second part will work?

thank you

You will be mounting using the restored(backup) controlfile, Creating the datafile , recover database using backup controlfile ( at this point ,the required online/archived redolog files will be applied) and after the Media recovery is complete(at this point your archivelogs will not be needed anymore) , open the database resetlogs.

You will then need to take a cold or hot backup of all the files asap.
