Hi all -
 
I'm trying to do a PITR and I've noticed that every time I try it, it ups the number it's looking for by one.

   What's in your recovery.conf?
 
00000001.history
00000002.history
.
.
00000008.history
 
For example one of my transaction log files name is
0000000100000218000000C1

Instead of looking for 0000000100000218000000C1, it replaces the first 1, with a 2 or
0000000200000218000000C1, I'm all the way up to 8 now.  How do I tell it to look for 1 or
0000000100000218000000C1 again.
 

  Every time your database opens, it comes onto a new timeline.  I don't *believe* you can go back to an older timeline once you've opened the database for operation.
