Hi,
  We are having a discussion about the following:

  we have a set of tables, from these tables we need to have a snapshot of
the table at 00:00:00 exactly (all the tables at the same time). Right now
we are using materialized views and we refresh them nightly. Of course this
is a weak solution as if any refresh fails, we loose consistency.

  as I don't like square wheels and the architect can't seem to build a
round one, I suggested using Oracle Total Recall, which based on the
documentation does everything we need (including guaranteeing consistency
and stuff like that).

  The architect claims that the performance on the queries with flashback
(with FDA enabled) is unacceptable for the application. I am certain he
didn't perform any testing, and I will do so as soon as I finish building
the environment, but I'm sure there are some people out there who have
already implemented total recall in production so my question to you is
what is the performance overhead of FDA (I've read about the overhead
during commit, and the restriction regarding DDLs; I'm wondering about the
performance of queries).

Thank you very much,

Alan.-
