My database is oracle12c. The archive log numbers are in sequence. Any one can explain why it is not in the order?

The below screenshot is from standby database. The seqeunce# 861 is coming after 1154. I am not sure why.

SQL> select dest_id,sequence#,applied,to_char(completion_time,'dd-mon-yy:hh24:mi:ss'),deleted
from v$archived_log where completion_time > trunc(sysdate-5) order by completion_time;

My Primary database is RAC two node. The standby database is non RAC database.

If you project the THREAD# column as well, it should become clear.

And if you use code tags if you would be even clearer.

Thanks John. Now i understand why after listing the thread#.

Thread 1 and Thread 2 are in two difference sequence. Sequence# 1154 comes from thread 1.
The seq# 864 comes from thread 2.

In nutshell, The sequence# are not in sequence in physical standby if Primary is
RAC.

I am using the below query to delete the archive log files. But it works
in non RAC database. Just realized, this does not work for RAC system
due to incorrect seqeunce# order due to multi thread.

select
  case
    when
      (select database_role from v$database)='PRIMARY' then
       (select min(seq#)
        from (
           select
             nvl(max(sequence#)-100,1) seq#
           from
             v$archived_log
           where
             backup_count > 0 
             and standby_dest <> 'YES'
             and resetlogs_change# = (select max(resetlogs_change#) from v$archived_log)
           UNION ALL      
           select  
              nvl(min(sequence#)-100,1) seq#
           from 
              v$archived_log l, V$ARCHIVE_DEST_STATUS s 
           where l.applied <> 'YES' and l.standby_dest = 'YES' 
            and s.dest_id = l.dest_id 
            and s.status = 'VALID'  
            and l.resetlogs_change# = (select max(resetlogs_change#) from v$archived_log) 
       )
      )
   else
      (select
        nvl(max(sequence#)-80,1)
      from
        v$archived_log
      where
        applied = 'YES'
        and resetlogs_change# = (select max(resetlogs_change#) from v$archived_log))
  end seq#
from dual;

delete noprompt archivelog until sequence $num;

$num will be out put of the above query.

It would be great if you have any better recommendation or suggestion on the query.

This looks like a complicated way to do something that is already automated. All you need do is

CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO whatever_is_appropriate_for_you;
DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL;
