Oracle 的 DBMS_SCN 修正以及 SCN 的 auto-rollover 新特性

在 Oracle 11.2.0.2 之后，随着一系列 SCN 耗尽问题的出现，很多补丁涌现出来，一个新的 Package 增加进来。

这个 Package 就是 DBMS_SCN。

如果你的数据库中存在这个 Package，也就意味着你已经安装具备了关于 DB Link 的修正补丁。

以下是这个包的主要函数过程以及说明，这个内容来自 Oracle 11.2.0.4 版本平台：

这里就可以看到 auto-rollover 的自动 SCN 兼容性终止时间，也就是说，在不同的兼容性设置中，SCN 的算法不同，但是内置了天然的算法过期时间。

在此之后，可以通过命令修改数据库的 SCN 兼容性算法：

SQL> ALTER DATABASE SET SCN COMPATIBILITY 2;

Database altered.

从高级别向低级别修改，需要数据库在 Mount 状态：

SQL> ALTER DATABASE SET SCN COMPATIBILITY 2;
ALTER DATABASE SET SCN COMPATIBILITY 2
