I am new to oracle. I work on oracle database 12c version. I have to find out if the tablespace autoextend status was disabled for previous week.But i can able to view current autoextend status for a tablespace. Is there any direct approach to find the tablespace autoextend status using database views?
Below output shows the current tablespace autoextensible status.
Sample output:
SQL> select TABLESPACE_NAME,AUTOEXTENSIBLE from dba_data_files;
TABLESPACE_NAME AUT
------------------------------ ---
SYSTEM NO
SYSTEM YES
SYSAUX YES
UNDOTBS1 YES
USERS NO
USERS NO
USERS YES
EXAMPLE YES
Expected
Autoextensible status - yes or no for previous week
If you're lucky, you can use a Flashback query to find historical values for your data files. To use flashback on the data dictionary you will need to be logged on as a privileged user like SYS:
SYS@orclpdb> select tablespace_name,autoextensible from dba_data_files as of timestamp timestamp '2021-05-20 00:00:00';
TABLESPACE_NAME AUT
------------------------------ ---
SYSTEM YES
SYSAUX YES
UNDOTBS1 YES
USERS YES
Unfortunately, a week is a long time for the historical (UNDO) data to be available. Your query is likely to fail with an error like "ORA-08180: no snapshot found based on specified time". But it doesn't hurt to try.
If flashback doesn't work, you'll need to follow Justin's advice and do something like create a scheduler job to periodically write the data into a table.
