I assume you meant an export dump file. That's not a hot backup.

Yes, but you can't use your dump file for that purpose. You'd have to
restore and recover the related tablespaces in an auxiliary database
from your cold backup and archived logs. Then you could exp/imp your
user schema.

No. Imp loads your data at a logical level. Recover works at a physical
one. If you imported this user schema, the database state would be
totally new, different from its state at the time of the export. Oracle
wouldn't be able to recover the changes you had made after the export. |

Hi,
I did the same.
I have one more query how do i recover only 1 user. I have a hot
backup for each user. My archive logs are enabled. Let's say I dropped
a user. I want to recover that user alone. Is that possible? Can I
import the user and recover user until some time?

put my question this way. I have 2 DBs. DB1 has user1. I have taken
coldbackup of DB1. I want to create that user in DB2 from coldbackup
without affecting other things in DB2.
It is really urgent. Your timely help is greatly appreciated.

One option is to restore the cold backup to another database server.
Then use export to create a dump file containing just the user in
question. Take the dump file to your main database server and import its
contents there.

Generally speaking during backup the database is considered as a whole.
This means you can't recover individual users. You can recover
individual tablespaces, but either in the original database, or in a
partial restore of the original database in a new different database
(not DB2). You could perform Tablespace Point in Time Recovery,
provided you have a RMAN backup.
Typically one would do this with export import, or with export using
transportable tablespaces.
There is no such thing as 'urgent' here, as this is a volunteer forum.
If it's really urgent submit a service request with Oracle.

Hi
Why from cold backup, why not from dump and exp/imp utility ?
