So you're using RMAN in catalog mode? My guess is that v$backup_set gets its information from the control file. Another guess is that eventually the control file information will get "aged" out because it is restricted in how much backup information it can retain. One possible solution would be to reduce the amount of information the control file holds. That might not be worth the effort.

When I do the query below, I get the following results.

But these backups are aged out of RMAN now and gone.

Is there a way to align the two queries other than linking to RMAN?

Query:

Prompt What's the info on the backup sets??.

column ct format 99999 heading '# in|set' column maxset format 99999 heading 'Max|Set' column maxct format a10 heading 'Set|Date' select count(*) ct, max(set_count) maxset, max(completion_time) maxct from v$backup_set
group by to_char(completion_time,'YY/MM/DD') order by to_char(completion_time,'YY/MM/DD') desc /
