問：Oracle10g的current_scn是如何計算的? 答：我們知道Oracle10g在v$database視圖中引入了current_scn，這個SCN來自底層表，代表當前的SCN，在Oracle9i中我們可以通過dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number來獲得系統的SCN。 但是注重current_scn還是有所不同的，我們看一下一個查詢：oracle@danaly ~]$ sqlplus '/ as sysdba' SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProdUCtion on Thu Jun 21 10:15:08 2007Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.
