Alternatives to FLASHBACK database
We're getting ready to upgrade to 11gR2, and so I thought I'd ask the question just in case there was something new ...
Are there alternatives to FLASHBACK DATABASE in order to rollback DDL? I was hoping that there was a new feature that I'm just not aware of, which allows for the same functionality at a smaller level, like at the schema level. I'm assuming we're not there yet based on the searches I've been performing this morning, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks,

Chuck, since you asked this question in relation to an upgrade I will mention that Oracle does provide a downgrade procedure; however 11.2 is a well tested environment and any problems you encounter you should be able either tune, patch, or otherwise workaround.
I have never consider flashback database a useful feature. There is no way we could ever flash back production because the DML often reflects real world actions such as shipping material out of the plant. If it was shipped we need to bill for it. If someone messes up that area of the applicaiton has to be fixed and the data corrected without any direct changes being made to the data in the uneffected portions of the system. Someone might mention flashing the database back, extracting what you need, flashing back forward but if the database is up there are users and data is being changed. We could never do it and I do not know too many other DBA's who could realistically use the feature except in test.

Use of Flashback Database in Data guard environments
11.2.0.3/RHEL 5.8
I've come across several docs which talk about configuring FLASHBACK DATABASE in dataguard environments. We have several
Physical standby DBs (Single Instance & RAC) running in our shop.I would like to know two or three major(common) use of FLASHBACK DATABASE in data guard environments.
I understood one use mentioned in the below URL ie. recovering from a logical mistake
http://uhesse.com/2010/08/06/using-flashback-in-a-data-guard-environment/
I would like to know what are the other major/common use of Flashback Database feauture in DataGuard environmentA couple of other uses:
1) You can use flashback to test your DR. So you can activate your standby. Test application/network connectivity and functionality on your DR site and when done revert this database back to a physical standby. You do however have to ensure that this is allowed in your environment. In some places I have worked this would be a big no no as there were zero data loss requirements. However some companies will allow this as long as the standby is back in place within a certain time period.
2) In the case that you have to do a failover for whatever reason, but then what was the primary site becomes available, you can flashback what was your primary to make it the standby rather than re-instatiating the database from scratch.
Eg. You have a power outage at your primary site so you perform a failover and your standby becomes the primary. Once what was your primary site is back online, you can convert your previous primary into a standby by doing a full back/restore (or whatever method you choose) to recreate your standby again. However you also have the option of using flashback on this database and then convert it into a standby as this would potentially be quicker than re-instantiating the standby. -
Can I use flashback database to flashback a pluggable database?
Hi All,
I created a container database and then created a pluggable database.
In the pluggable 12.1 datbase, I loaded the user data.
I performed the below
sqlplus / as sysdba;
create restore point CLEAN_DB guarantee flashback database;
And I performed the transactions on the pdb.
Now my intention is to restore to the restore point CLEAN_DB as created from the above step.
If I perform the below, will it restore my pdb to the initial state?
flashback database to restore point CLEAN_DB;
Regards,
Kamal.Hi,
You cannot use FLASHBACK DATABASE for pluggable database.

Enabling flashback database adds unsupported spfile parameter
After enabling the flashback database I saw a new policy violation upon restart.
awrflush_threshold_metrics was set to true and added to the spfile. When I look that up, I get various dire warnings about using it.
If it's not supported, why does Oracle do this by default upon enabling the flashback database? And, is it necessary for the flashback database to work, or can I remove it?What's your OS and DB versions?
Since 10g R2 this parameter Enables/Disables Flushing AWR Workload Metrics.
You should not set this hidden parameter unless directed by Oracle Support. All parameters that start with underscore (_) are considered internal and unsupported, which means that only Oracle is authorized to set them.

Flashback Database on Data Guard setup
Hello!
Win 2003 server - 64 bit
Oracle 10.2.0.4
As i have noticed Flashback Database is popular in Data Guard setups for the reinstate reason; you dont need to rebuild.
However, im looking at Flashback for 'flashback database' reasons. Some developers has asked for a method to rollback if an release has gone bad, so my questions is;
If i flashback database primary database, will standby also change due to redo log shipment?
Thank u!After flashing primary database check CURRENT_SCN in Standby. If flashback scn is greater then current_scn, then do nothing. Otherwise, on standby:
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
FLASHBACK STANDBY DATABASE TO SCN "flashback_scn_number -1";
ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION; -
After Flashback database can I use my backups?
I performed a flashback database and then opened the database with
alter database open resetlogs;
Now when I try the following command in rman I get this message:
RMAN> list backup
2> ;

All the backups are still there but it tells me a new incarnation of the database has been registered in the recovery catalog.
My question is: Do I need to do anything different from now on? Also can my existing backups still be used if needed?
thanks in advance,

A new question on how to Enable Flashback Database on the standby database?
Best Practice document said:
Enable Flashback Database on the standby database to minimize downtime for logical corruptions.
I would like to know where to find document or anybody already had experience for this topic?
Also I would like to know what is the best practice for backup/recovery of the Physcial standby database?
Thanks in advance.Hello;
Just an opinion but I like the book "Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" as both the document and the answers to the second question.
Chapter 12 covers the A to Z of RMAN with Data Guard.
This book sold me on Flashback since Flashback allows a former Primary database to be reinstated after a failover operation with being restored ( provided sufficient flashback logs are available)
My own experience is I tried a failover test without it and trash my test Primary.
I did a simple failover test a few weeks ago, here are my notes.

How to use Flash recovery area only for flashback database feature
I would like to use flash recovery area only for flashback database feature, which means, flash recovery area will store only flashback logs.
I dont want to use that file system for any other files, like archive log files, database backups, control file copies, multiplex redo log, etc
is it possible? I want to use this feature only for flashback database option and hence i dont want to disturb any existing configuration in my database
including backup jobs. Is it required to store archive redo log files also in flash recovery area to use the flashback database feature?
I certainly can't afford to have a copy of entire database in this file system as size of my DB is more than the flash recovery area file system I have.
Thanks

Aman,
I think i was not clear in my question. Let me try again
My only requirement is to use flashback database feature (or be prepared to use if required). I dont want to create a large file system to use this FRA to store all these files. Out of all the files being stored here copy of data files seems to be consuming more space. I see these files are classified as transient and permanent files. I am okay with permanent files. I fear that this file system may consume more space if i store backup files on disk. I want database backups to go to tapes, not to the FRA disk. Is it possible?
Thanks for your reply
Okay, well in that case you can use RMAN and push the backups to the tape drives. FLB logs would be stored on the FRA.

Can we rollback catcpu.sql using flashback database?
Hello all,
Can we use FLASHBACK DATABASE to roll back the changes made by the catcpu.sql/catpatch.sql used for upgradation/patching? [ I am aware that oracle provides rollback sql's but just curious. ]
TIA,
JJKeep in mind, catpatch is only the second part of the patching process, before that you already patched the software. If you want to have a complete rollback, follow the instructions in the readme file.

FLASHBACK Database : rman vs sql command differnces
I am new to Oracle and want understand the difference and which is the correct way of flashing back the database?
RMAN command vs SQL Command on using FLASHBACK DATABASE
SQL> FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT BEFORE_ONLINE_TEST; {CODE} Vs rman> run{
flashback database to restore point BEFORE_TEST_320130313;
sql "alter database open resetlogs"; }
Referring this article on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmflash.htm#BGBDCAFA it says we can use both RMAN and SQL command for database flashback.
Questions:
1. Difference between using RMAN and SQL command on database flashback?
2. When to use RMAN or SQL on the database flashback?
3. Which is the Oracle recommended or best way ?

Using Flashback Database on 11g
hi everyone,
My 11g db is size 50 GB on a very strong Windows server.
No performance problems whatsoever.
If I enable Flashback Database logging am I likely to notice any performance degradation? The data is not really heaviily changed.
What about disk space - does it use the existing redo/archive logs or does it create different logs for the flashback feature?
Thanks for your opinions.

If I enable Flashback Database logging am I likely to notice any performance degradation? The data is not really heaviily changed.Even if the data is not heavily changed, with the internal changes happening, there would be some activity always generating Redo/Undo. You would want to check the working of the RVWR process to see any possible waits over it. In addition to this, if the speed of the writing of RVWR is not good enough to write, you would see the contention on the Undo tablespace as it won't be freed as long as the corresponding writes are not saved by RVWR.
>
What about disk space - does it use the existing redo/archive logs or does it create different logs for the flashback feature?Flashback database uses *.flb* files which , if I remember correctly ,grow in 8mb of chunks. FLasback database does not uses the existing redo logs. Yes, it does uses the archived logs in addition to the FLB logs. So before you think to use this featuture, you do want to check the retention period of the logs , also the disk space required to manage that much retention period.

Deleted guarantee restroe point (flashback database)?
Hi!
User create restore "guarantee" restore point like:
create restore point full_restore guarantee flashback database;By mistake he/her delete all flashback content. Database is shutdowned.
After trying to open, there is a know problem with flashback restore point.
All around the internet there is a hint like:
startup mount;
alter database flashback off;
alter database flashback on;
alter database open resetlogs;But here is a problem with "guarantee" restore point which doesn't allow to open the database without having flashback files that will ensure "guarantee restore point".
Oracle will rather die then not to ensure "guarantee" statement!!! All looks that this is a dead end situation!
My question is : What to do in such a situation if you do not have backup ed flashback area and content is somehow lost.
This lead to very interesting question: How danger is "guaranteed restore point" in such a cases?
Any hint or comments more then welcome.
THX
Sorry if this is not right group for asking about flashback....'Flashback database' is a nice feature, but you should never rely on it entirely. If you've lost your flashback logs and NO regular backups are available, in case of a media crash, you are in a bad situation, because you cannot restore/recover,

Unable to do flashback database!!
Hi all,
I have enabled flashback database and created a restore point with guaranteed flashback database so that i can do a flashback database. When i do a flashback database, its says it needs archivelogs to do recovery. The flashback log usually will have all modified data in a flashback log files to use it for flashbacking a database. why its asking for archivelogs when all the modified data is present in flashback log itself? kindly clarify me.
Regards,
Pradeep. VHi,
Flashback database required the Archive log files.
"Flashback Database is similar to conventional point-in-time recovery in its effects. It enables you to return a database to its state at a time in the recent past. Flashback Database is much faster than point-in-time recovery because it does not require restoring datafiles from backup and requires applying fewer changes from the archived redo logs."
"No file in the fast recovery area is eligible for deletion if it is required to satisfy a guaranteed restore point. However, archived redo logs required to satisfy a guaranteed restore point may be deleted after they are backed up to disk or tape. When you use the RMAN FLASHBACK DATABASE command, if the archived redo logs required to satisfy a specified guaranteed restore point are not available in the fast recovery area, then they are restored from the backups."
