Oracle scn介绍

SCN是当Oracle数据库更新后，由DBMS自动维护去累积递增的一个数字。当一笔交易commit 时，LGWR会将log buffer写入redo log file，

上次做了下基于scn恢复delete掉的数据后，觉得应该好好理解下scn的知识，今天在网上找了下相关的介绍，参考了某些文章，，在此我通过实验总结一下。

SCN是当Oracle数据库更新后，由DBMS自动维护去累积递增的一个数字。当一笔交易commit 时，LGWR会将log buffer写入redo log file，同时也会将该笔交易的SCN同步写入到redo log file内（wait-until-completed）。因此当你commit transaction时，在交易成功的讯息返回之前，LGWR必须先完整的完成上述行为之后，否则你是看不到提交成功的回应讯息。
那系统是如何产生一个最新的
select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number, SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(dbms_flashback
2 .get_system_change_number) from dual;

GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
------------------------
SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(DBMS_FLASHBACK.GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

24-MAR-11 11.32.22.000000000 AM

也可以用函数

SQL> select timestamp_to_scn(SYSTIMESTAMP) as scn from dual;
control中有三种SCN分别为，system SCN、datafile SCN、last SCN，数据文件头中有一种SCN start SCN
system scn从视图v$database中获得，对应checkpoint_change#字段，datafile scn、last scn分别对应视图v$datafile中的checkpoint_change#，last_change#，而 start scn则从v$datafile_header中checkpoint_change#得到。
数据库在正常启动后下，system scn,datafile scn,start scn会相等，而last scn会被置于无穷大，这里为null。
正常关闭后（immediate,noraml,translate），上面四个scn会应执行full checkpoint 而相等。
当系统在非正常关闭后，如shutdown abort，这个时候last scn依然为无穷大，那么当重新启动实例时，系统首先会比较start scn与system scn，如果一致，那么再比较start scn 与last scan是否一样大，因为是非正常关闭，这里会不一样大，那么就需要例程恢复。
如果打开数据库时发现system scn>datafile scn，那么以为着使用旧的备份数据文件，也就是需要介质恢复
如果是system scn1、正常启动时
SQL> SELECT checkpoint_change# FROM v$database;

2、正常关闭后，然后在startup mount;
SQL> shutdown immediate;

ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

--发现start scn=last scn,证明系统是正常关闭
SQL> alter database open;

3、在正常打开状态下进行事务操作
SQL> CREATE TABLE w(a number);

Table created.

SQL> INSERT INTO w VALUES(1);

1 row created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> INSERT INTO w VALUES(2);

1 row created.
4、非正常关闭
SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
5、打开到mount状态下，观看scn
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.
