Hello every body,

Plz, can some onE tell me what does mean VERSION_TIME column in V$DATABASE;
i know that there is an other column which is called CREATED which indicates when the database has been created and i think it will never change,
but, what about VERSION_TIME ? when does it change ?

THANKS.

V$DATABASE displays information about the database from the control file.
And it it from "x$kccdi.divts"[kernel cache, controlfilemanagement database information}

Quote:

Each time a backup controlfile is mounted, the version_time is updated.

So, can we deduce that if CREATED VALUE and VERSION_TIME VALUE are equals means that CONTROLFILE has never been restored i.e : it has always been the same one used by the database ?

Look ramo

I tried what you said, but it didn't

I made a backup of all database with autoback controfile on,

run
{
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
backup database;
}

some time later and after serveral manipulations of dropping objects for example, I issued :

CMD (Windows)

set nls_date_format='dd-mm-yy hh24:mi:ss'

RMAN

run
{
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
set until time '25-06-11 11:11:11';
retore database;
recover database;
alter dabase open resetlogs;
}

the database is safley restored and recovered but
CREATED and VERSION_TIME are always the same , I mean VERSION_TIME doesn't change in spite of restoring with

autoback controlfile on

SQL> alter session set nls_date_format ='dd-mm-yy hh24:mi:ss';

Session modifiée.

SQL> select name, created, version_time
  2  from v$database;

NAME      CREATED           VERSION_TIME
--------- ----------------- -----------------
ORCL      19-03-11 23:04:54 19-03-11 23:04:54

What's wrong ? plz.

Unless you deleted the current control file there is no reason you still not stay with it.
