Oracle Database Restore Point

ORACLE DATABASE RESTORE POINT

Description : In this blog, we are going to see the Oracle database restore point and its types with the demo.Normal Restore Point:

A normal restore point enables you to flash the database back to a restore point within the time determined by DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET initialization parameter setting.
A normal restore point can be dropped explicitly.
The control files stores name of the restore point and the SCN.

Guaranteed restore point:

A guaranteed restore point enables you to flash the database back to the restore point regardless of DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET initialization parameter setting.
Guaranteed restore point must be dropped explicitly by the user using the DROP RESTORE POINT command.
Guaranteed restore point never ages out.

DATABASE INCARNATION USING RMAN

ORACLE DATABASE INCARNATION USING RMAN

Description:-
In this blog, we are going to see the Oracle database incarnation using RMAN backup with the demo.

INCARNATION:-
The current online redo logs are archived, the log sequence number is reset to 1, a new database incarnation is created, and the online redo logs are given a new timestamp and SCN.

Database incarnation falls into the following category:-
Current, Parent, Ancestor, and Sibling:
i) Current Incarnation: The database incarnation in which the database is currently generating redo.
ii) Parent Incarnation: The database incarnation from which the current incarnation branched following an OPEN RESETLOGS operation.
iii) Ancestor Incarnation: The parent of the parent incarnation is an ancestor incarnation. Any parent of an ancestor incarnation is also an ancestor incarnation.
iv) Sibling Incarnation: Two incarnations that share a common ancestor are sibling incarnations if neither one is an ancestor of the other.

Overall steps:-

Backup full database using RMAN
After backup create a table in the database note the SCN number.
Delete and Drop table take SCN number.
Do log switching and check incarnation status.
Bounce the database started in the mount stage.
Connect RMAN and recover the database mention the sequence number
where the table record was deleted.
After the recovery is completed perform resetlogs to open the database.
Connect a database to check incarnation also check the table can be retrieved.
Shut the database and start the mount stage again.
Reset the database incarnation 2 to retrieve the table records mention the
scn where the table was created.
Check record can be retrieved.

Step 1: Backup full database:-

[oracle@test ~]$ . livedb.env
[oracle@test ~]$ rman target /
connected to target database: LIVEDB (DBID=3038906043)
RMAN> backup database;
Starting backup at 15-SEP-21
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog

channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:01:06
Finished backup at 15-SEP-21

Starting Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 15-SEP-21
piece handle=/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/LIVEDB/autobackup/2021_09_15/
o1_mf_s_1083297650_jn28ntoh_.bkp comment=NONE
Finished Control File and SPFILE Autobackup at 15-SEP-21
RMAN> exit

Step 2: After backup create a table in the database note SCN number :-

[oracle@test ~]$ . livedb.env
[oracle@vtest ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> create table sample as select * from all_objects;
Table created.
SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
———–———–
2146558

Step 3: Delete and Drop table take SCN number:-
Delete the rows in the sample table:
SQL> delete from the sample;
71297 rows deleted.

Get the scn number also,
SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
———-———–
2146578

Drop the table structure:
SQL> drop table sample;
Table dropped.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
——————–
2146601

Step 4: Do log switching and check incarnation status:-

SQL> alter system switch logfile;
System altered.
Check the incarnation using v$database_incarnation:
SQL> select incarnation#, resetlogs_change# from v$database_incarnation;
INCARNATION# RESETLOGS_CHANGE#
———— —————–
1 1
2 1920977

Step 5: Bounce the database start in mount stage:-

SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

SQL> startup mount
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1694495520 bytes
Fixed Size                       8897312 bytes

Database Buffers        1275068416 bytes
Redo Buffers                  7876608 bytes
Database mounted.

Step 6: Connect RMAN and recover the database mention the sequence number where the table record was deleted:-

[oracle@test ~]$ rman target /
connected to target database: LIVEDB (DBID=3038906043, not open)
RMAN> run{
set until scn=2146578;
restore database;
recover database;
}
executing command: SET until clause
Starting restore at 15-SEP-21
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=45 device type=DISK
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile backup set restore

channel ORA_DISK_1: restored backup piece 1
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:00:56
Finished restore at 15-SEP-21

Starting recover at 15-SEP-21
using channel ORA_DISK_1
starting media recovery
media recovery complete, elapsed time: 00:00:01

Finished recover at 15-SEP-21

Step 7: After the recovery is completed perform resetlogs to open the database:-

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
Statement processed
RMAN> exit

Step 8 : Connect database to check incarnation also check the table can be retrieved:-

[oracle@test ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> select incarnation#, resetlogs_change# from v$database_incarnation;
INCARNATION# RESETLOGS_CHANGE#
————          —————–
               1                        1
               2              1920977
               3              2146579
The table structure is retrieved but the record can be deleted from the scn number stage.
SQL> select * from the sample;
no rows selected

Step 9: Shut the database and start the mount stage again:-

SQL> shut immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.

Step 10: Reset the database incarnation 2 to retrieve the table records mention the scn where table created:-

RMAN> reset database to incarnation 2;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
database reset to incarnation 2

RMAN> run{
set until scn=2146558;
restore database;
recover database;
}
executing command: SET until clause

Perform reset logs method:

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

[oracle@test ~]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> select count(1) from sample;
