上一篇文章简单的介绍了这个新特性,但是没有做太多的试验来对一些说法进行验证,piner也写了一篇来进一步说明这个新引入的flashback方式。本文准备补充一些相关的其他内容。
一.后台进程
Oracle11g为Flashback data archive特性专门引入了一个新的后台进程FBDA,用于将追踪表(traced table,也就是将指定使用flashback data archive的table)的历史变化数据转存到闪回归档区。
NAME DESCRIPTION
------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
FBDA Flashback Data Archiver Process
二.一些限制条件
1.Flashback data archive只能在ASSM的tablespace上创建
2 tablespace "TEST"
3 quota 1 m
4 retention 1 day;
tablespace "TEST"
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-55627: Flashback Archive tablespace must be ASSM tablespace
2.Flashback data archive要求必须使用自动undo管理
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ---------- ------------------------------
undo_management string MANUAL
NING@11g>create flashback archive test_archive2
2 tablespace "TEST"
3 quota 1 m
4 retention 1 day;
create flashback archive test_archive2
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55628: Flashback Archive supports Oracle 11g or higher
NING@11g>show parameter compatible
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ---------- ------------------------------
compatible string 11.1.0.0.0
三.空间配额
磁盘配额由quota子句指定,只能使用整数,单位可以是M/G/T/P。如果省略quota子句,则默认为unlimited,但这样则要求用户对于该tablespace必须有unlimited的空间配额,并且指定的quota必须小于用户在该tablespace上的配额限制,在我的试验中,只有flasback data archive的配额小于tablespace的配额84M以上才可以创建成功,否则失败,至于为什么会是84M,暂时还不清楚,我的系统是Redhat AS5,有兴趣的朋友请帮忙测试这个问题。昨天昏了头了,应该是该用户在该tablespace中已经占用了80多M的空间,所以会出现这个问题。
一个Flashback data archive可以使用多个tablespace作为存储空间,创建时指定的tablespace为第一个tablespace,后续还可以通过alter flashback archive … add tablespace增加新的tablespace进来,也可以通过later flashback archive … remove tablespace移除某个tablespace(不会物理删除该tablespace)。
Revoke succeeded.
SYS@11g>alter user ning quota 85m on users;
User altered.
NING@11g>create flashback archive test_archive2
2 tablespace "USERS"
3 retention 1 day;
tablespace "USERS"
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-55621: User quota on tablespace "USERS" is not enough for Flashback Archive
NING@11g>create flashback archive test_archive2
2 tablespace "USERS"
3 quota 2 m
4 retention 1 day;
tablespace "USERS"
*
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-55621: User quota on tablespace "USERS" is not enough for Flashback Archive
NING@11g>create flashback archive test_archive2
2 tablespace "USERS"
3 quota 1 m
4 retention 1 day;
Operation 218 succeeded.
但是空间配额可以超过该tablespace本身的物理大小
Tablespace dropped.
SYS@11g>create tablespace test
2 datafile '/oracle/oradata/ning/test01.dbf' size 10m;
Tablespace created.
SYS@11g>alter user ning quota unlimited on test;
User altered.
NING@11g>create flashback archive test_archive3
2 tablespace "TEST"
3 quota 100 m
4 retention 1 month;
Operation 218 succeeded.
四.空间不足会导致追踪表上的DML操作失败
Table created.
NING@11g>alter table test flashback archive test_archive1;
Table altered.
NING@11g>insert into test select * from all_objects;
11873 rows created.
NING@11g>insert into test select * from test;
...
NING@11g>/
379936 rows created.
NING@11g>/
insert into test select * from test
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01536: space quota exceeded for tablespace 'USERS'
五.清除闪回归档区的数据
1.清除所有数据
Operation 219 succeeded.
2.清除某个时间点,比如一天前的数据
2 purge before timestamp (systimestamp - interval '1' day);
Operation 219 succeeded.
3.清除某个SCN之前的历史数据
2 purge before scn 8570685767554;
Operation 219 succeeded.
六.置于Flashback data archive中的table的一些限制
追踪表(Tracked table),也就是指定将历史数据保存到某个flashback data archive中的table,不能执行DDL操作(add column除外)。
drop table test
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55610: Invalid DDL statement on history-tracked table
NING@11g>truncate table test;
truncate table test
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55610: Invalid DDL statement on history-tracked table
NING@11g>alter table test drop column object_id;
alter table test drop column object_id
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55610: Invalid DDL statement on history-tracked table
Table altered.
但是可以rename table,这一点和文档上说的不一致
Table renamed.
NING@11g>select table_name,flashback_archive_name from dba_flashback_archive_tables;
TABLE_NAME FLASHBACK_ARCHIVE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TEST1 TEST_ARCHIVE1
