If I am correct, can we go beyond 5 days of Flashback recovery using Timestamp method in Oracle 9i. I know somebody referred earlier in the mail that he recover the data which is older than 15 days. I know that some documentation says that it is not possible as timestamp mapping to SCN is maintained in SMON_SCN_TIME for only 5 days. I am not having any configuration to test it so thought I can check with you.

Thanks

List,
I have a very unusual request from users to have UNDO_RETENTION set to 5 days. Normally I set to about 5 hours, not days. Don't ask why. They have inherited a bad design that requires flashing back to 5 days ago and, no, they can't redesign it.

I'm curious if anyone has actually done it, i.e setting it to a very high value. Any input will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Arup
