我们知道Oracle10g在v$database视图中引入了current_scn，这个SCN来自底层表，代表当前的SCN，在Oracle9i中我们可以通过dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number来获得系统的SCN。我的版本是oracle11g的。
但是注意current_scn还是有所不同的，看一下一个查询：
SQL> col current_scn for 99999999999999999
SQL> select current_scn from v$database; CURRENT_SCN
------------------
1941617

我们看到current_scn的查询会直接导致SCN的增进，而其他方式并不会，至少执行两次时不会。也就是说在这里的current_scn就像是一个Sequence一样，查询会导致增进。这也很好理解，v$database只能通过增进当前的SCN才能保证获得的SCN是Current的。可是如果不查询呢？这个值肯定是不会增长的。
这里 和盖国强大师 说点不一样。

有点疑惑？那位朋友能给个解答！先谢谢了。。
