Recovery Catalog Views, 19 of 25


RC_PROXY_DATAFILE

This view contains descriptions of datafile backups that were taken using the proxy copy functionality. It corresponds to the V$PROXY_DATAFILE view.

In a proxy copy, the media manager takes over the operations of backing up and restoring data. Each row represents a backup of one database file.

Column  Datatype  NULL  Description 

DB_KEY 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The primary key for the target database. Use this column to form a join with almost any other catalog view. 

DBINC_KEY 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to form a join with RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION. 

DB_NAME 

VARCHAR2(8) 

NOT NULL 

The DB_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs. 

XDF_KEY 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The proxy copy primary key in the recovery catalog. If you issue the list command while connected to the recovery catalog, this value appears in the KEY column of the output. 

RECID 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The proxy copy record identifier from V$PROXY_DATAFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. 

STAMP 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The proxy copy stamp from V$PROXY_DATAFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. 

TAG 

VARCHAR2(32) 

 

The tag for the proxy copy. 

FILE# 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The absolute file number of the datafile that is proxy copied. 

CREATION_CHANGE# 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The datafile creation SCN. 

RESETLOGS_CHANGE# 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The SCN of the most recent RESETLOGS in the datafile header. 

RESETLOGS_TIME 

DATE 

NOT NULL 

The timestamp of the most recent RESETLOGS in the datafile header. 

INCREMENTAL_LEVEL 

NUMBER 

 

0 if this copy is part of an incremental backup strategy, otherwise NULL. 

CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

Checkpoint SCN when the copy was made. 

CHECKPOINT_TIME 

DATE 

NOT NULL 

Checkpoint time when the copy was made. 

ABSOLUTE_FUZZY_CHANGE# 

NUMBER 

 

The highest SCN in any block of the file, if known. 

RECOVERY_FUZZY_CHANGE# 

NUMBER 

 

The SCN to which recovery must proceed for the file to become not fuzzy. If not NULL, this file must be recovered at least to the specified SCN before the database can be opened with this file. 

RECOVERY_FUZZY_TIME 

DATE 

 

The timestamp to which recovery must proceed for the file to become not fuzzy. If not NULL, this file must be recovered at least to the specified time before the database can be opened with this file. 

ONLINE_FUZZY 

VARCHAR2(3) 

 

YES/NO. If set to YES, this copy was made after a crash or offline immediate (or is a copy of a copy which was taken improperly while the database was open). Recovery will need to apply all redo up to the next crash recovery marker to make the file consistent.  

BACKUP_FUZZY 

VARCHAR2(3) 

 

YES/NO. If set to YES, this is a copy taken using the BEGIN BACKUP/END BACKUP backup method. To make this copy consistent, Recovery will need to apply all redo up to the marker that is placed in the redo stream when the ALTER TABLESPACE END BACKUP statement is issued. 

BLOCKS 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

Size of the datafile copy in blocks (also the size of the datafile when the copy was made). 

BLOCK_SIZE 

NUMBER 

NOT NULL 

The block size for the copy in bytes. 

DEVICE_TYPE 

VARCHAR2(255) 

NOT NULL 

The type of sequential media device.

MEDIA 

VARCHAR2(80) 

 

A comment that contains further information about the media manager that created this backup. 

MEDIA_POOL 

NUMBER 

 

The number of the media pool in which the proxy copy is stored. 

START_TIME 

DATE 

NOT NULL 

The time when proxy copy was initiated. 

COMPLETION_TIME 

DATE 

NOT NULL 

The time when the proxy copy was completed. 

ELAPSED_SECONDS 

NUMBER
