6 2 Flashback Database and Restore Points

This document provides instructions and examples for using various Oracle Database flashback and restore point features: 1) It demonstrates how to use Flashback Query to view past values of rows in a table. It also shows how to activate and configure flashback at the database level. 2) Examples are given for creating different types of restore points including PDB restore points and CDB restore points. 3) Instructions are included for performing flashback operations to restore points and guaranteed restore points to rollback changes or dropped objects. 4) Methods are shown for listing, displaying metadata about, and dropping existing restore points.
