This view lists information about all datafiles registered in the recovery catalog. It corresponds to the V$DATAFILE view. A datafile is shown as dropped if its tablespace was dropped.
| Column | Datatype | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| DB_KEY | NUMBER | The primary key for this database in the recovery catalog. Use this column to join with almost any other catalog view. | 
| DBINC_KEY | NUMBER | The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to join with RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION. | 
| DB_NAME | VARCHAR2(8) | The DB_NAMEof the database incarnation to which this record belongs. | 
| TS# | NUMBER | The number of the tablespace to which the datafile belongs. The TS#may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created. | 
| TABLESPACE_NAME | VARCHAR2(30) | The tablespace name. The name may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created. | 
| FILE# | NUMBER | The absolute file number of the datafile. The same datafile number may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the datafile is dropped and re-created. | 
| CREATION_CHANGE# | NUMBER | The SCN at datafile creation. | 
| CREATION_TIME | DATE | The time of datafile creation. | 
| DROP_CHANGE# | NUMBER | The SCN recorded when the datafile was dropped. If a new datafile with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_CHANGE#is set toCREATION_CHANGE#for the datafile; otherwise the value is set toRC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_SCN. | 
| DROP_TIME | DATE | The time when the datafile was dropped. If a new datafile with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_TIMEis set toCREATION_TIMEfor the datafile; otherwise the value is set toRC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_TIME. | 
| BYTES | NUMBER | The size of the datafile in bytes. | 
| BLOCKS | NUMBER | The size of the datafile in blocks. | 
| BLOCK_SIZE | NUMBER | The size of the data blocks in bytes. | 
| NAME | VARCHAR2(1024) | The datafile filename. | 
| STOP_CHANGE# | NUMBER | For offline or read-only datafiles, the SCN value such that no changes in the redo stream at an equal or greater SCN apply to this file. | 
| STOP_TIME | DATE | For offline normal or read-only datafiles, the time beyond which there are no changes in the redo stream that apply to this datafile. | 
| READ_ONLY | NUMBER | 1if the file is read-only; otherwise0. | 
| RFILE# | NUMBER | The relative file number of this datafile within its tablespace. | 
| INCLUDED_IN_DATABASE_BACKUP | VARCHAR2(3) | Indicates whether this tablespace is included in whole database backups: YESorNO. TheNOvalue occurs only ifCONFIGURE EXCLUDEwas run on the tablespace that owns this datafile. | 
| AUX_NAME | VARCHAR2(1024) | Indicates the auxiliary name for the datafile as set by CONFIGUREAUXNAME. | 
| ENCRYPT_IN_BACKUP | VARCHAR2(3) | YESif this datafile has been configured to be transparently encrypted when backed up; otherwiseNULL. | 
| SITE_KEY | NUMBER | Primary key of the Data Guard database associated with this file. Each database in a Data Guard environment has a unique SITE_KEYvalue. You can useSITE_KEYin a join with theRC_SITEview to obtain theDB_UNIQUE_NAMEof the database. | 
| DB_UNIQUE_NAME | VARCHAR2(512) | The DB_UNIQUE_NAMEof the database incarnation to which this record belongs. All databases in a Data Guard environment share the same DBID but differentDB_UNIQUE_NAMEvalues. The value in this column is null when the database name is not known for a specific file. For example, rows for databases managed by versions of RMAN before Oracle Database 11g are null. | 
| FOREIGN_DBID | NUMBER | Foreign DBID from which this data file came from. The value is 0if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
| FOREIGN_CREATION_CHANGE# | NUMBER | Creation SCN of a foreign datafile. The value is 0if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
| FOREIGN_CREATION_TIME | DATE | Creation time of a foreign datafile. The value is 0if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
| PLUGGED_READONLY | VARCHAR2(3) | YESif this is a transported read-only foreign file; otherwiseNO. | 
| PLUGIN_CHANGE# | NUMBER | SCN at which the foreign datafile was transported into the database. The value is 0if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
| PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_CHANGE# | NUMBER | The SCN of the RESETLOGSoperation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is0if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
| PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_TIME | DATE | The time of the RESETLOGSoperation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is0if this file is not a foreign database file. |
