Starting from 11g Oracle has added another tool to its bundle of flashback technologies called Flashback
Data Archive(Oracle Total Recall).
With this feature previous state of a table can be viewed. But Unlike Flashback query
and or Flashback transaction query this feature does not depend on the undo_retention
of the database.
Flashback Data Archive requires one or more tablespaces where it can store historical data
for one or several tables.
whenever the data in the table is modified its original unmodified value is written to the undo
tablespace. From there the Flashback Data Archiver Process(FBDA) will collect it and write
the data to flashback data archive.
#Create a Tablespace for the Flashback Data Archive
SQL> create tablespace fda datafile '/u01/fda01.dbf' size 500M
autoextend on next 100M
extent management local

#Change its quota
SQL> alter flashback archive flash_data modify tablespace fda quota 1G;
Flashback archive altered.
#Change retention
SQL> alter flashback archive flash_data modify retention 1 year;

#Remove tablespace from flashback data archive

#Purge data from flashback data archive
SQL> alter flashback archive flash_data purge all;
Flashback archive altered.
#Purge using interval clause
