VARCHAR2(31)

Name of the pluggable database (PDB) in the recovery catalog.

PDB_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key for this PDB in the recovery catalog.

PDBINC_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key for the incarnation of the PDB.

TS#

NUMBER

The number of the tablespace to which the data file belongs. The TS# may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created.

TABLESPACE_NAME

VARCHAR2(30)

The tablespace name. The name may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created.

FILE#

CREATION_CHANGE#

NUMBER

The SCN at data file creation.

CREATION_TIME

DATE

The time of data file creation.

DROP_CHANGE#

NUMBER

The SCN recorded when the data file was dropped. If a new data file with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_CHANGE# is set to CREATION_CHANGE# for the data file; otherwise the value is set to RC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_SCN.

DROP_TIME

DATE

The time when the data file was dropped. If a new data file with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_TIME is set to CREATION_TIME for the data file; otherwise the value is set to RC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_TIME.

The size of the data file in bytes.

BLOCKS

NUMBER

The size of the data file in blocks.

BLOCK_SIZE

NUMBER

The size of the data blocks in bytes.

NAME

VARCHAR2(1024)

STOP_CHANGE#

NUMBER

For offline or read-only data files, the SCN value such that no changes in the redo stream at an equal or greater SCN apply to this file.

STOP_TIME

DATE

For offline normal or read-only data files, the time beyond which there are no changes in the redo stream that apply to this data file.

READ_ONLY

NUMBER

1 if the file is read-only; otherwise 0.

RFILE#

NUMBER

The relative file number of this data file within its tablespace.

INCLUDED_IN_DATABASE_BACKUP

VARCHAR2(3)

SITE_KEY

NUMBER

Primary key of the Data Guard database associated with this file. Each database in a Data Guard environment has a unique SITE_KEY value. You can use SITE_KEY in a join with the RC_SITE view to obtain the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database.

DB_UNIQUE_NAME

VARCHAR2(512)

The DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs. All databases in a Data Guard environment share the same DBID but different DB_UNIQUE_NAME values. The value in this column is null when the database name is not known for a specific file. For example, rows for databases managed by versions of RMAN before Oracle Database 11g are null.

FOREIGN_DBID

NUMBER

Foreign DBID from which this data file came from. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file.

FOREIGN_CREATION_CHANGE#

NUMBER

Creation SCN of a foreign data file. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file.

FOREIGN_CREATION_TIME

DATE

Creation time of a foreign data file. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file.

PLUGGED_READONLY

VARCHAR2(3)

YES if this is a transported read-only foreign file; otherwise NO.

PLUGIN_CHANGE#

NUMBER

SCN at which the foreign data file was transported into the database. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file.

CREATION_THREAD

NUMBER

The thread number of the data file describe by this row.

CREATION_SIZE

NUMBER

The size of the data file at the time of creation.
