From 10g Onwards you can recover the dropped table from recyclebin, suppose the table is not available in recycle bin also flashback database in not enabled.
But you are having a recent RMAN backup containing that table.
you can recover the table by
1. create a duplicate database from production database using until log sequence
RMAN> RUN
2> {
3> SET UNTIL SEQUENCE 11 THREAD 1;
4> DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO "clone" NOFILENAMECHECK;
5> }
2. export the users table from clone(duplicate) database.
[oracle@rac2 clone]$ exp rajesh/rajesh file=/u01/app/oracle/test_rcv.dmp tables=test rows=y
3. import the users table to the production database.
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ imp rajesh/rajesh file=/u01/app/oracle/test_rcv.dmp fromuser=rajesh touser=rajesh tables=test
Example:
1. creating a table and insert some rows , take rman backup and then drop the database.
switch logfiles for more change.

Hi Rajesh,
it will be very helpful if could let me know this ....
suppose I have level 0 full backup every sunday and rest of days its level 1 bkup... and suppose if a table is dropped on thursday 11.00 am ... then how would i recover that .. should it wb like firs twe should apply level 0 bkup and then apply level 1 bkup ? if so the ncould you let me know the steps for same, please??
you have to do TSPITR.
Hey Rajesh,
it is neccessary to create duplicate database to recover a dropped table.
Thank you for sharing this post.
