So here is another post I will keep just for my own reference.

Whenever I need to perform an incomplete recovery of the database, I usually use the SET UNTIL TIME to specify the time for an incomplete recovery. Sadly, when NLS_LANG is not set properly, the time format that needs to be used is not something I can remember.

So here is an example for using SET UNTIL TIME with a sane time format:

run {
set until time "to_date('22-APR-2015 13:30:00','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
}

You can find more examples in the Oracle documentation.
