As shown in "Example 2: Grouping DML Statements into Committed Transactions ", using the COMMITTED_DATA_ONLY
option with the dictionary in the online redo log file is an easy way to focus on committed transactions. However, one aspect remains that makes visual inspection difficult: the association between the column names and their respective values in an INSERT
statement are not apparent. This can be addressed by specifying the PRINT_PRETTY_SQL
option. Note that specifying this option will make some of the reconstructed SQL statements nonexecutable.
Determine which redo log file was most recently archived.
SELECT NAME FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG WHERE FIRST_TIME = (SELECT MAX(FIRST_TIME) FROM V$ARCHIVED_LOG); NAME ------------------------------------------- /usr/oracle/data/db1arch_1_16_482701534.dbf
Specify the redo log file that was returned by the query in Step 1.
EXECUTE DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE( - LOGFILENAME => '/usr/oracle/data/db1arch_1_16_482701534.dbf', - OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR.NEW);
Start LogMiner by specifying the dictionary to use and the COMMITTED_DATA_ONLY
and PRINT_PRETTY_SQL
options.
EXECUTE DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR(- OPTIONS => DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG + - DBMS_LOGMNR.COMMITTED_DATA_ONLY + - DBMS_LOGMNR.PRINT_PRETTY_SQL);
The DBMS_LOGMNR.PRINT_PRETTY_SQL
option changes only the format of the reconstructed SQL, and therefore is useful for generating reports for visual inspection.
