Estimate flashback destination size

Estimate flashback destination size
 
 
 
 
 
 

Sometimes we need to enable flashback for x number of days. In such case, we need to estimate the flashback space required for x number of days in order to store the flashback logs.

Note : The flashback log size is same as archive log size generated in a database.

Method to estimate flashback space : 
    • Check the archive generation size via below query
1
2
3
4
5
6
select to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY') Arch_Date,count(*) No#_Logs,
sum((BLOCKS*512)/1024/1024/1024) Arch_LogSize_GB
from v$archived_log
where to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY')>=trunc(sysdate-7) and DEST_ID=1
group by to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY')
order by to_char(COMPLETION_TIME,'DD-MON-YYYY');
  • Take the average per day size of archives generated
  • Multiply the average archive size with x number of days
  • Then add the required space for flashback file system.

Hope it helps!
