V$RMAN_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM
V$RMAN_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM provides descriptions of supported compression algorithms. It is used by the RMAN client.
| Column | Datatype | Description |
|---|---|---|
ALGORITHM_ID |
NUMBER |
Algorithm ID |
ALGORITHM_NAME |
VARCHAR2(64) |
Name of the algorithm (for example, LOW, MEDIUM, DEFAULT, or HIGH) |
INITIAL_RELEASE |
VARCHAR2(18) |
First Oracle Database release when this compression algorithm was available |
TERMINAL_RELEASE |
VARCHAR2(18) |
Last Oracle Database release that supported using this compression algorithm to create new backups. Existing backups can always be restored, even if they use a deprecated compression algorithm. |
ALGORITHM_DESCRIPTION |
VARCHAR2(64) |
Description of the algorithm |
ALGORITHM_COMPATIBILITY |
VARCHAR2(18) |
Required database compatibility level for the algorithm (for example, 11.2.0 for DEFAULT) |
IS_VALID |
VARCHAR2(3) |
Indicates whether the algorithm is valid with regard to the compatibility setting (YES) or not (NO). The value is YES if ALGORITHM_COMPATIBILITY <= DATABASE_COMPATIBILITY. |
REQUIRES_ACO |
VARCHAR2(3) |
Indicates whether the algorithm requires the Advanced Compression Option (YES) or not (NO) |
IS_DEFAULT |
VARCHAR2(3) |
Indicates whether the algorithm is the default compression algorithm that RMAN uses to create compressed backup sets (YES) or not (NO) |
CON_ID |
NUMBER |
The ID of the container to which the data pertains. Possible values include:
