Hi Gurus,
I have a question about finding sequence number in archived log. I just want to do minimum backup of archived log, which means if the archived logs are backed and
requests:
1. Find the min seq# number which is *not* deleted. Or max seq# which is deleted.
2. Need to consider incarnations. That means if previous incarnation's archived logs are not deleted, I want to back it up.
3. Need to cover 9i to 11g
I have a draft, but it can not meet my request in some cases.
select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where deleted='YES';
Could you give any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance.
Edgy

Thank you for reply. But I think I followed the guideline, such as be polite, etc. Anything wrong, please point it out directly, thanks.
My case just because I have no idea how to cover all scenarios. I knew how to get the seq# as my draft version. But it can not meet my requests since I need to consider different incarnation. And also, v$archived_log can not hold all since MAXLOGHISTORY parameter limitation. How to deal with it?

Thank you Michel Cadot!
But for the 1st one, it does not consider incarnations. So if
1). incarnation 1 has seq#=300 which is deleted
2). incarnation 2 has seq#=3 which is deleted
Then, the max seq# will be 300. But, usually, I might more pay attention on seq#3 archived log since it is current incarnation.
