The control files of a database store the status of the
physical structure of the database. The control file is
absolutely crucial to database operation. It contains (but
is not limited to) the following types of information:
* Database information (RESETLOGS SCN and their time
stamp)
* Archive log history
* Tablespace and datafile records (filenames, datafile
checkpoints, read/write status, offline or not)
* Redo threads (current online redo log)
* Database's creation date
* database name
* current archive log mode
* Log records (sequence numbers, SCN range in each log)
* RMAN catalog
* Database block corruption information
* Database ID, which is unique to each DB
