    I have a question for oracle, is it possible to recover only partition from backup tape e.g Part_201005 if I delete from database.

    In general this is not possible but in certain conditions - depending on backup strategy and where affected partition was sitting on a read-only tablespace or not it may be doable.

    Point here is that recovery has to be consistent across the whole database.

    If database is not too large I would suggest...

    1- Create a dummy database.

    2- Restore whole backup on top of dummy database.

    3- Export affected partition out of dummy database.

    4- Import affected partition into target database.

    ... please note this is not going ensure referential integrity.
