RE: Is there a transaction number?

If you're using 10g, check out the flashback_transaction_query view. The xid column is the transaction ID number.

why would Oracle keep track of transactions, once they are committed? (apart from read consistency purposes, of course)

How does Oracle keep track of transactions? Is there a unique transaction number (not scn) assigned to each transactions in the life of database. How can I get that number. I was looking into V$TRANSACTION but could not figure out what is that unique transaction identifier.  

Thanks
