Recovery with an old controlfile/recover database using backup controlfile

Question :
I have a full backup wıth control file and archıvelogs which is taken by rman yesterday.Today my db ıs crashed at the evenıng and control fıle ıs corrupted. When I restore yesterdays controlfıle from backupset,and restore all yesterday's datafiles,can I apply todays archivelogs and apply to these datafiles? Do I lose any data in this scenerio?
Answer :
When you take online/hot backup then yours backup is inconsistent , upon recovery oracle makes inconsistent backups consistent by applying all archived and online redo logs ,oracle makes recovery by reading the earliest/oldest SCN in any of the datafile headers and apply the changes from the logs back into the datafile. yes indeed controlfile has repositry about alls backup stuff like database backup as well archivelog backup.If you take backup of archivelog then it goes to control file entry ,upon restoration activity oracle reads the controlfile to ask where archivelog exist to be restored.If yours todays archivelogs are on disk not in controlfile repositry then oracle will apply these todays archivelog regardless controlfile knows or not,If the RMAN repository or controlfile indicates that no copies of a needed log sequence number exist on disk, then RMAN looks in backups and restores archived redo logs as needed to perform the media recovery,there is no concern controlfile for applying archivelogs at all,if you have todays archivelogs exist then you will lose data only which is in current redo log thats why multiplexing redo log came into ours dbackup plan.
Question :
but control file is older it doesnt store the info of new archivelogs.How can I add?
Answer :
Contorolfile older issue raise when you have controlfile for yesterday and datafile for today,if you restore yesterdays controlfle and restore the datafile from this yesterday controlfile and then started recovery to this yesterday controlfile then there would be no any issue to recover the database till before crash using todays archivelogs.Here you have to remember one thing you will lose only data for current redo log ,if you have redo log keep intact by multiplexing then you can recover this multiplexed current redo log data also. If yesterdays controlfile dont know todays database physical activity i.e adding datafile then archivelog data for this todays datafile applying will raise the error during recovery. Here i am going to prove that yesterdays controlfile will not be an issue for tracking the todays archivelog during recovery process and it will apply safely.

Question :
But as i have old controlfile then whats the use of recover database using backup controlfile as i know recover database using backup controlfile is used when you have old controlfile.
Answer :
Yes you are right but you are missing obvious that using old controlfile recovery by using recover database using backup controlfile command is used when you have old controlfile and datafiles are current.Lets see a scenario which will depictyou a clear picture when to use recover database using backup controlfile. Lets suppose i am taking cold backup daily ,my procedure is to shutdown the database and then copy alls database file to somewhere safe daily at the end of day ,one day i lost/corrupt the controlfile, i dont have current controlfile i have only controlfile backup which is backed up as cold last day.In this case i have two options either i create the controlfile by using the create controlfile command then perform recovery if required and start up the database.Other option is to restore the last cold backed up controlfile and recover database using backup controlfile. If you try to recover database without using backup controlfile command then you will get the error.
ORA-01122: database file 1 failed verification check ORA-01110: data file 1: 'C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\PROD\SYSTEM01.DBF' ORA-01207: file is more recent than controlfile - old controlfile ORA-1122: database file 1 failed verification check Cause: The information in this file (system01.dbf) is inconsistent with information from the control file. Action: Make sure that the db files and control files are the correct files for this database. ORA-1207 file is more recent than control file - old control file Cause: The control file change sequence number in the data file is greater than the number in the control file. This implies that the wrong control file is being used. Note that repeatedly causing this error can make it stop happening without correcting the real problem. Every attempt to open the database will advance the control file change sequence number until it is great enough. Action: Use the current control file or do backup controlfile recovery to make the control file current. Be sure to follow all restrictions on doing a backup controlfile recovery.

Question :
But You showed me up without any new added datafile with old controlfile recovery and yours scenario with cold backup ,my case is hot backup and i have new datafile but old controlfile backup ,i lost old control file but datafiles exist on disk presumably some data files are added in database file before losing controlfile and old controlfile does not know about it how will i make recovery in this scenario
Answer :
The process would be the same in yours scenario as i mentioned above, you will have to make recovery with "recover database using backup controlfile" when you have old controlfile and new datafiles.Lets see here
