Oracle: Flashback Database

The effects of Flashback Database are somewhat similar to that of a point-in-time recovery, however, it is usually faster because it does not need

to restore data files from a backup
requires less redo than media recovery

Flashback Database needs flashback logs to be able to go back in time.

TODO

startup mount

select log_mode, flashback_on from v$database;

alter database flashback off;
alter database noarchivelog;
