SMON and many other background processes are always doing work, the database unless it is opened read only is always doing transactions.
Whereas , the checkpoint change would be changed when there would be a global checkpoint that would occur. All rights reserved. Connected to an idle instance.
As the database is up and running, SCN value keeps on increasing for every second. This is just for one Wrap and imagine you have still wraps to complete. So, no need to fear about reaching maximum. Even if it does reach maximum, then SCN will be reseted to 0, thus causing a new incarnated database. So, all your old backups and Archived logs becomes useless. When this happens, all datafiles and control files are updated with SCN at that time.
A successful checkpoint guarantees that all database changes up to the checkpoint SCN have been recorded in the datafiles. As a result, only those changes made after the checkpoint need to be applied during recovery. Oracle stores the SCN associated with the Checkpoint in four places: three of them in the control file and one in the datafile header for each datafile.
Datafile Checkpoint SCN individually in the control file for each datafile. Now let us see how the SCN that is stored in different places by various events are useful during recovery scenarios. During a clean shutdown of the database, since it is an event, a checkpoint occurs and the stop SCN value is set to Start SCN of datafile header.
Now, all the 4 SCN values are same. In this process, the most common concern is how long it will take for the database to open.
That is, how many redo logs need to be read to complete the rollforward. Of course, users hope that the shorter the time, the better. Oracle is constantly optimizing the process through various means to shorten the recovery time. When the writing is completed, the CKPT process updates the control file and data file header, and records the checkpoint. Information, identifying changes. The frequency of checkpoints has a great impact on the recovery time of database. If the frequency of checkpoints is high, the redo logs that need to be applied during recovery are relatively few, and the recovery time can be shortened.
However, it should be noted that the internal operation of the database is highly relevant, too frequent checkpoints will also bring performance problems, especially frequent updates of the database.
So the optimization of database is a system engineering, and it should not be hasty. This way you can have a maximum SCN at 1. Checkpoint number is never updated for the datafiles of readonly tablespaces. Does Oracle do either crash recovery or transaction recovery after shutdown abort if the checkpoint was taken right before the instance crash?
Yes, Oracle perform rollforward first if there are any changes beyond last checkpoint and rollback any uncommitted transactions. Controlfile records information about last checkpoint and archived sequence along with other information.
Hi there, Very nice post! Ok 2 stupid questions 1 When this no of highest scn will be over, than what will happen? Will oracle restart from the first number? Hi, nice article. My question is: 1 Does all redo entries has scn attached to them or does only the commit entry has. I had read somewahere that only at time of logswitch ckpt updates datafile headers.
Hi Ruderesh, 1 All changes recorded in the redo stream including commits and rollbacks will have SCN associated with them.
