Can we use Flashback database If noarchivelog exists

Can we use flashback database log after switching from archivelog mode to noarchivelog mode and back to archivelog mode?

According to  this below document reference

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/flashdb.htm#BRADV583

 

We cannot, because when we turn off flashback database, you lose the flashback logs unless they are guaranteed

If they guaranteed, We can’t alter no archivelog mode

Let us see some example :

Step 1: Ensure Flashback ON

SQL> select flashback_on from v$database;

FLASHBACK_ON
------------------
YES

Step 2:

SQL> conn flashown/flashown;
Connected.
SQL> create table employee as select * from scott.emp;

Table created.

SQL> update employee set sal=sal+50;

14 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> create restore point azar;

Restore point created.

SQL> update employee set sal=sal+50;

14 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

SQL>select current_timestamp from dual;

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
19-DEC-10 09.53.55.726000 AM +03:00

Step 3: alter noarchivelog mode

SQL> shutdown immediate
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount
Database mounted.

SQL> alter database noarchivelog;
alter database noarchivelog
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38774: cannot disable media recovery - flashback database is enabled
SQL> alter database flashback off;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database noarchivelog;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database open;

Database altered.

SQL> update flashown.employee set sal=sal+50;

14 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

Step 4: Again back to archivelog mode & Recover flashback database But we can’t.

SQL> shutdown immediate
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount
Database mounted.
SQL> alter database archivelog;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database flashback on;

Database altered.

SQL> flashback database to restore point azar;
flashback database to restore point azar
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38729: Not enough flashback database log data to do FLASHBACK.
SQL> flashback database to timestamp to_date('19-DEC-10 09.54.00','DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS');
flashback database to timestamp to_date('19-DEC-10 09.54.00','DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS')
                                                             *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38729: Not enough flashback database log data to do FLASHBACK.

Step 5: Create Guarantee Restore point

SQL> show parameter db_flashback_retention_target;

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_flashback_retention_target        integer     1440
SQL> create restore point azardb guarantee flashback database;

Restore point created.

SQL> alter database open;

Database altered.

SQL> select sal from flashown.employee;

       SAL
----------
       955
      1755
      1405
      3130
      1405
      3005
      2605
      3255
      5155
      1655
      1255

       SAL
----------
      1105
      3155
      1455

14 rows selected.

SQL> select current_timestamp from dual;

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
19-DEC-10 10.11.43.716000 AM +03:00

SQL> update flashown.employee set sal=sal-5;

14 rows updated.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> shutdown immediate
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount
Database mounted.
SQL> alter database flashback off;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database noarchivelog;
alter database noarchivelog
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-38781: cannot disable media recovery - have guaranteed restore points
SQL> alter database flashback on;

Database altered.

SQL> flashback database to timestamp to_date('19-DEC-10 10.11.44','DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS');

Flashback complete.

SQL> alter database open resetlogs;

Database altered.

SQL> select sal from flashown.employee;

       SAL
----------
       955
      1755
      1405
      3130
      1405
      3005
      2605
      3255
      5155
      1655
      1255

       SAL
----------
      1105
      3155
      1455

14 rows selected.
SQL>

So we can’t alter noarchivelog mode While Guarantee restore point exists in DB.

And the If flashback database off,  we can’t recover flashback database using flashback logs.

Flashback Data Archive

Flashback Data archive is one of the Oracle 11g feature (Oracle Total Recall).

A Flashback Data Archive (Oracle Total Recall) provides the ability to track and store all transactional changes to a table over its lifetime. It is no longer necessary to build this intelligence into your application. A Flashback Data Archive is useful for compliance with record stage policies and audit reports.

 

How to Enable Flashback Data Archive;

Step 1:  Conn AS sys user & create tablespace

SQL> select flashback_on from v$database;

FLASHBACK_ON

SQL> create tablespace flashbacktbs datafile 'D:\backup\flbtbs01.dbf' size 50m autoextend on;

Tablespace created.
------------------
YES

Step 2: Create Flashback Data Archive with retention period

SQL> create flashback archive fla1 tablespace flashbacktbs retention 1 year;

Flashback archive created.

Step 3:

SQL> conn scott/tiger;
Connected.
SQL> alter table emp flashback archive fla1;
alter table emp flashback archive fla1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-55620: No privilege to use Flashback Archive

So Need to give privilege for scott user

Step 4: Grant privilege

SQL> conn sys/Admin123 as sysdba
Connected.

SQL> grant flashback archive on fla1 to scott;

Grant succeeded.

Step 5:

SQL> conn scott/tiger;
Connected.
SQL> alter table emp flashback archive fla1;

Table altered.

Step 6:

SQL> select empno,ename,sal from emp where empno=7788;

     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7788 SCOTT            3000

SQL> select current_timestamp from dual;

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
18-DEC-10 10.53.41.521000 AM +03:00

SQL>  update emp set sal=sal+100 where empno=7788;

1 row updated.

SQL>  select sal from emp as of timestamp to_timestamp('18-DEC-10 10:53:41','DD-MM-YY HH24:MI:SS')  WHERE EMPNO=7788;

       SAL
----------
      3000

SQL> select empno,ename,sal from emp where empno=7788;

     EMPNO ENAME             SAL
---------- ---------- ----------
      7788 SCOTT            3100

Some Other operations:

Modify Retention Period:

SQL>  alter flashback archive FLA1 modify retention 2 year;

Flashback archive altered.

Purge all data

SQL> alter flashback archive FLA1 purge all;

Flashback archive altered.

Disable Falshback data archive for table

SQL> alter table scott.emp no flashback archive;

Table altered.

ADD/MODIFY/REMOVE tablespace

SQL> alter flashback archive fla1 add tablespace testdb;

Flashback archive altered.

Datapump REUSE_DUMPFILES parameter

REUSE_DUMPFILES parameter is using for overwriting preexisting dump file.

It  default parameter is NO.

Data Pump Export will return an error if you specify a dump file name that already exists. The REUSE_DUMPFILES parameter allows you to override that behavior and reuse a dump file name.

This is compatabile for Oracle 11g Version, Not in Oracle 10g version.

see below Example :

Datapump compression parameter

Here I just like to show How compression datapump parameter working in Oracle 11g R2 ( see Below Screenshot How  size vary from others.)

Default: METADATA_ONLY

Purpose

Specifies which data to compress before writing to the dump file set

Syntax and Description

COMPRESSION={ALL | DATA_ONLY | METADATA_ONLY | NONE}
  • ALL enables compression for the entire export operation. The ALL option requires that the Oracle Advanced Compression option be enabled.
  • DATA_ONLY results in all data being written to the dump file in compressed format. The DATA_ONLY option requires that the Oracle Advanced Compression option be enabled.
  • METADATA_ONLY results in all metadata being written to the dump file in compressed format. This is the default.
  • NONE disables compression for the entire export operation.
Restrictions
  • To make full use of all these compression options, the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter must be set to at least 11.0.0.
  • The METADATA_ONLY option can be used even if the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is set to 10.2.
  • Compression of data (using values ALL or DATA_ONLY) is valid only in the Enterprise Edition of Oracle Database 11g

For Example  , See Below Screenshot:

Compression =METADATA_ONLY
