闪回数据归档
虽然ORA-01555错误可以通过种种手段来避免和减少,但是随着时间的流逝,这些UNDO信息总会失去,那么能否将这些信息保存起来,使得数据库在一定的历史周期之内可以不断向后追溯,使得我们可以看到一个数据表在任意历史时间点上的切片呢?
从Oracle Database 11g开始,Oracle 提供了一个这样的功能:闪回数据归档(Flashback Data Archive)。通过这一功能Oracle数据库可以将UNDO数据进行归档,从而提供全面的历史数据查询,也因此Oracle引入一个新的概念 Oracle Total Recall,也即Oracle全面回忆功能。闪回数据归档可以和我们一直熟悉的日志归档类比,日志归档记录的是Redo的历史状态,用于保证恢复的连续性;而闪回归档记录的是UNDO的历史状态,可以用于对数据进行闪回追溯查询;后台进程LGWR用于将Redo信息写出到日志文件,ARCH进程负责进行日志归档;在Oracle 11g中,新增的后台进程FBDA(Flashback Data Archiver Process)则用于对闪回数据进行归档写出:
闪回归档数据甚至可以以年为单位进行保存,Oracle可以通过内部分区和压缩算法减少空间耗用,这一特性对于需要审计以及历史数据分区的环境尤其有用,但是注意,对于繁忙的数据库环境,闪回数据存储显然要耗用更多的存储空间。当然,用户可以根据需要,对部分表进行闪回数据归档,从而满足特定的业务需求。
因为闪回数据归档需要独立的存储,所以在使用该特性之前需要创建独立的ASSM(自动段空间管理)表空间:
sys@TQGZS11G> create tablespace fbda datafile '/oracle/oradata/tqgzs11g/FBDA.dbf' size 200M segment space management auto;
Tablespace created.
然后可以基于该表空间创建闪回数据归档区,FLASHBACK ARCHIVE ADMINISTER系统权限是创建闪回数据存档所必需的,此处使用SYS用户进行:
sys@TQGZS11G> create flashback archive fda tablespace fbda retention 1 month;
Flashback archive created.
此后就可以使用该归档区来记录数据表的闪回数据量。为了测试方便,先将UNDO表空间更改为较小,以使得UNDO数据能够尽快老化:
sys@TQGZS11G> create undo tablespace UNDOTBS2_SMALL datafile '/oracle/oradata/tqgzs11g/UNDOTBS2_SMALL.dbf' size 20M autoextend off;
Tablespace created.
sys@TQGZS11G> alter system set undo_tablespace= UNDOTBS2_SMALL;
System altered.
sys@TQGZS11G> show parameter undo
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------
undo_management string AUTO
undo_retention integer 900
undo_tablespace string UNDOTBS2_SMALL
接下来使用测试用户连接,对测试表执行闪回归档设置,FLASHBACK ARCHIVE对象权限是启用历史数据跟踪所必需的:
sys@TQGZS11G> conn tq/tq
Connected.
tq@TQGZS11G> select TABLE_NAME from user_tables;
TABLE_NAME
--------------------
T
EMP
tq@TQGZS11G> alter table t flashback archive fda;
Table altered.
取消对于数据表的闪回归档可以使用如下命令:
alter table table_name no flashback archive;
接下来记录一下SCN,从数据库表中删除部分数据:
tq@TQGZS11G> select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number from dual;
GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER
------------------------
1142115
tq@TQGZS11G> select count(*) from t;
COUNT(*)
----------
69266
tq@TQGZS11G> delete from t where rownum < 1001;
1000 rows deleted.
tq@TQGZS11G> commit;
Commit complete.
现在执行闪回查询,则数据来自UNDO表空间:
tq@TQGZS11G> select count(*) from t as of scn 1142115;
COUNT(*)
----------
69266

| 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | | |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T | 69266 | 1048 (1)| 00:00:13 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------
接下来执行一小段批量循环代码,使UNDO数据老化覆盖:
tq@TQGZS11G> begin
2 for i in 1 .. 100 loop
3 delete from t where rownum < 31;
4 commit;
5 end loop;
6 end;
7 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
现在来看一下闪回数据归档发挥作用的闪回查询,通过执行计划能够看到和之前查询执行方式的不同:
tq@TQGZS11G> select count(*) from t as of scn 1142115;
COUNT(*)
----------

通过以上执行计划可以看到,查询闪回来自SYS_FBA_TCRV_72661系统表,该表隶属于闪回归档表空间,用于记录闪回数据:
tq@TQGZS11G> desc SYS_FBA_TCRV_72661
Name Null? Type
----------------- -------- ---------------------
RID VARCHAR2(4000)
STARTSCN NUMBER
ENDSCN NUMBER
XID RAW(8)
OP VARCHAR2(1)
tq@TQGZS11G> select count(*) from SYS_FBA_TCRV_72661;
COUNT(*)
----------

闪回功能生成的字典对象有多个,通过查询USER_TABLES/USER_OBJECTS视图可以获得这些对象的详细信息:
tq@TQGZS11G> select table_name,tablespace_name from user_tables where table_name like '
