RMAN database point-in-time recovery (DBPITR) restores the database from RMAN backups.
RMAN will be consider all ( required ) backups (full, incremental, transectional) to restore or roll forward to the desire time.
Point in time recovery may be incomplete recovery because it does not use all the available archive logs files or completely recover all changes to your database.
If you want to recover your database to the exact date/time in the past, use RMAN point in time recovery.
Prerequisites :-
Database must be running in archivelog mode.
You must have all the datafile backups available prior to target time to recover.
STEP 1:Check archive log list for the current log sequence number.
SQL> archive log list
Database log mode Archive Mode
Automatic archival Enabled
Archive destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence 2
Next log sequence to archive 4
Current log sequence 4
Step 2: Create user for testing and table data for the recovery purpose.
SQL> create user inba identified by inba default tablespace users temporary tablespace temp profile default account unlock;
User created.
SQL> grant connect,resource to inba;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant all privileges to inba;
Here you can find the time of log sequence 3 19:19:55 that is the time the data would be available in the database.so we need to go back that time and recover the database using the RMAN backups.
Step 4 : Startup the database at mount stage and connect the rman to recover the database using the log sequence number 3.

STEP 4: Once the recovery has completed,open the database with resetlogs option and check the data in the table.
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
Database altered.

Step 5:- Check the table data now that the point in time recovery has worked.
