Thank you Laimutis, Jinwen and Kellyn for your helpful inputs. These
made me feel more clear. I did not realize v$standby_log has so much
detail info (thought it was just like v$logfile). Laimutis, you are
right, the most important thing is that all the committed data in
primary is also in standy and no data loss in case of disaster happen to
primary.

You are interested into what?


v$standby_log should provide what is written into standby log

v$managed_standby provides how recovery progresses but only tells how
many
redo blocks it advanced.

v$datafile and v$datafile_header provide checkpoint scn.

What is missing here is managed recovery scn.

But who really cares because what is really important is a checkpoint
scn.

Hi all,

I have set up a real time apply physical standby and trying to find how
Real Time it is. However it seems that it is hard to find the latest
SCN#
on physical standby database, v$database (current_scn) only gets updated
to
the last scn which has been archived. Here is what I got:

SQL> select recovery_mode from v$archive_dest_status where dest_id=2;
RECOVERY_MODE
-----------------------
MANAGED REAL TIME APPLY

SQL> select name, value, time_computed from v$dataguard_stats where
name='apply lag';
NAME            VALUE                TIME_COMPUTED
--------------- -------------------- ------------------------------
apply lag       +00 00:00:00         12-JAN-2010 15:26:02


Primary last change time:

SQL> select scn_to_timestamp(current_scn) from v$database;
SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(CURRENT_SCN)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
12-JAN-10 03.05.41.000000000 PM


Standby last change time: - not updated after last log archived

SQL> select current_scn from v$database;
CURRENT_SCN
-----------
  579664324
SQL> select scn_to_timestamp(579664324) from v$database;
SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(579664324)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
11-JAN-10 11.27.27.000000000 PM

SQL> select max(FIRST_CHANGE#),max(NEXT_CHANGE#) from v$archived_log;
MAX(FIRST_CHANGE#) MAX(NEXT_CHANGE#)
------------------ -----------------
         579266831         579664325

Could someone share some light on this?

Thanks,
Lu
