那么非一致性恢复主要应用于在控制文件，重做日志文件，或者归档日志文件失败，数据库的完全介质恢复将无法进行的时候，为使损失达到最小，这个时候才可执行数据库的不一致性恢复。

我们可以通过如下图来理解什么是非一致性恢复：
如图上中，数据库在100的时候已经做了全备，重做日志已经捕获了100-500之间的SCN，并同归redo应用归档，当在500的时候，数据库发生了介质失败；那么这个时候要做数据库的恢复就要用到在scn 100时做的备份以及100-500这期间所产生的归档和重做日志信息。如果说归档在scn 300的时候损坏了，那么这个时候就只能恢复到scn为200的这个点，这也就是我们说的数据库的不完全恢复.
非一致性恢复的类型主要分为以下四种：
基于时间（time）恢复
基于时间的恢复将数据库恢复到备份点与失败点之间的某个时间点。基于时间的恢复不仅在介质失败的时候使用，也可以在数据库正常运行的时候使用。例如：某个用户误删除了某个表的数据，这个时候我们可以通过基于时间的恢复来将删除的数据恢复出来，示例如下：
1、查看当前用户下的表，只有一张WWL001
21:07:31 SQL> select * fromtab;
TNAME TABTYPE CLUSTERID
————————————- ———-
WWL001 TABLE
Elapsed: 00:00:00.06
我们通过WWL001来创建WWL002-WWL005 共四张表用来测试不完全恢复
21:08:28 SQL> create tablewwl002 as select * from wwl001;
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.17
21:08:55 SQL> create tablewwl003 as select * from wwl001;
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.04
21:09:00 SQL> create tablewwl004 as select * from wwl001;
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.03
21:09:06 SQL> create tablewwl005 as select * from wwl001;
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.05
如上表已经创建完成
2、我们在21:13:13开始删除表（请注意时间）
21:13:13 SQL> drop tablewwl002 purge;
Table dropped.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.16
21:13:28 SQL> drop tablewwl003 purge;
Table dropped.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.11
21:13:34 SQL> truncate tablewwl004;
Table truncated.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.32
21:13:44 SQL> truncate tablewwl005;
Table truncated.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.07
21:13:47 SQL>
3、开始执行恢复，先将数据库启动到mount状态
21:14:40 SQL> conn / assysdba
Connected.
21:14:44 SQL> shutdownimmediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
21:15:20 SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

Variable Size 88083108 bytes
Database Buffers 8388608 bytes
Redo Buffers2973696 bytes
Database mounted.
21:15:46 SQL> e
4、开始执行restore到备份数据库的当前状态：
RMAN> restore database;
Starting restore at 12-JUL-12
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog

channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=47devtype=DISK

Finished restore at 12-JUL-12
RMAN> exit
5、执行基于时间点的恢复：
21:27:54 SQL> recover database until time ‘YYYY-mm-ddhh24:mi:ss’
21:27:54 SQL> recoverdatabase until time ‘2012-07-12 21:10:00’;

Log applied.
Media recovery complete.
21:30:29 SQL>
至此已经恢复完成。
6、因为做了不完全恢复，必须要做restlogs打开数据库。
21:30:29 SQL> alter databaseopen restlogs;
alter database open restlogs
