DB_KEY |
NUMBER |
The primary key for the target database. Use this column to form a join with almost any other catalog view. |
DB_ID |
NUMBER |
The unique database identifier. |
BS_KEY |
NUMBER |
The primary key of the backup set 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 |
The backup set RECID from V$BACKUP_SET. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. Use either RECID and STAMP or SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT to access V$BACKUP_SET. |
STAMP |
NUMBER |
The backup set STAMP from V$BACKUP_SET. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. Use either RECID and STAMP or SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT to access V$BACKUP_SET. |
SET_STAMP |
NUMBER |
The SET_STAMP value from V$BACKUP_SET. SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT form a concatenated key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. Use either RECID and STAMP or SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT to access V$BACKUP_SET. |
SET_COUNT |
NUMBER |
The SET_COUNT value from V$BACKUP_SET. SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT form a concatenated key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file. Use either RECID and STAMP or SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT to access V$BACKUP_SET. |
BACKUP_TYPE |
VARCHAR2(1) |
The type of the backup: D (full backup or level 0 incremental), I (incremental level 1), L (archived redo log). |
INCREMENTAL_LEVEL |
NUMBER |
The level of the incremental backup: NULL, 0, or 1. |
PIECES |
NUMBER |
The number of backup pieces in the backup set. |
START_TIME |
DATE |
The time when the backup began. |
COMPLETION_TIME |
DATE |
The time when the backup completed. |
ELAPSED_SECONDS |
NUMBER |
The duration of the backup in seconds. |
STATUS |
VARCHAR2(1) |
The status of the backup set: A (all backup pieces available), D (all backup pieces deleted), O (some backup pieces are available but others are not, so the backup set is unusable). |
CONTROLFILE_INCLUDED |
VARCHAR2(7) |
Possible values are NONE (backup set does not include a backup control file), BACKUP (backup set includes a normal backup control file), and STANDBY (backup set includes a standby control file). |
INPUT_FILE_SCAN_ONLY |
VARCHAR2(3) |
This backup set record was created by the BACKUP VALIDATE command. No real backup set exists. This record is only a placeholder used to keep track of which datafiles were scanned and which corrupt blocks (if any) were found in those files. |
KEEP |
VARCHAR2(3) |
Indicates whether this backup set has a retention policy different from the value for CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY. Possible values are YES and NO. |
KEEP_OPTIONS |
VARCHAR2(10) |
The KEEP options specified for this backup set. Options can be LOGS (RMAN keeps the logs needed to recover this backup), NOLOGS (RMAN does not keep the logs needed to recover this backup), or NULL (the backup has no KEEP options and is subject to the default retention policy). |
KEEP_UNTIL |
DATE |
If the KEEP UNTIL TIME clause of the BACKUP command was specified, then this column shows the date after which this backup becomes obsolete. If the column is NULL and KEEP OPTIONS is not NULL, the backup never becomes obsolete. |
