Hello All,

I have updated a table and data got commited as well, My manager is willing to see the previous data before update.

Table has just 1 row, is there any way to get the previous record set

Thanks

For example,
orclz>
orclz> select * from emp where ename='KING';

     EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR HIREDATE                   SAL       COMM     DEPTNO
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------
      7839 KING       PRESIDENT            1981-11-17:00:00:00       5000                    10

orclz> update emp set sal=1000  where ename='KING';

1 row updated.

orclz> commit;

Commit complete.

orclz> select * from emp as of timestamp sysdate-5/1440 where ename='KING';

     EMPNO ENAME      JOB              MGR HIREDATE                   SAL       COMM     DEPTNO
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------
      7839 KING       PRESIDENT            1981-11-17:00:00:00       5000                    10

Guddu_12,
please be aware that John's example will only work if your have flashback setup in your database.

No, Bill - there is no configuration needed for flashback query. In fact, I don't think it possible to disable it.

see https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/rpfbdb003.htm

You have to do setup for flashback to be enabled. It might be default in later versions but it still can be turned on or off.

That is Flashback Database. Flashback query needs nothing more than the undo segments.
