RMAN中通过时间点不完全恢复报ORA-01841的解决办法

在linux中，对数据库进行RMAN不完全恢复。执行recover database until time 'xxxx' 时报错：

ORA-01841 (full) year must be between -4713 and +4713 / +9999 and must not be 0

怎么改格式都无效。

 

解决方法是，设置操作系统的NLS_LANG环境变量，例如 export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8

 

附上该错误的一个相关bug，不过该bug已在Oracle 9i中修复：

 

• Recovery Manager Tablespace Point in Time Recovery fails if the format used by
• NLS_DATE_FORMAT does not lead with a month.
•
• If NLS_DATE_FORMAT leads with a Year then ORA-01841 is returned.
• If NLS_DATE_FORMAT leads with a Day then ORA-01858 is returned.
•
• This bug only affects the Tablespace Point in Time Recovery feature.
