在Oracle 10g中的引入了ORA_ROWSCN伪列新特性。基于此种伪列所提供的信息，我们可以方便地找出某个数据块或某一个行最近被修改 的时间戳。在默认情况下，10g下表会以非行依赖性(NOROWDEPENDENCIES)的属性创建，这意味着我们可观察的ORA_ROWSCN信息是以块级跟踪的，无法分辨同一块内的多行间不同的修改时间。为了达到行级粒度的跟踪我们需要在建表时指定基于行依赖性的ROWDEPENDENCIES字句。如： 
SQL> select * from global_name;

/* 可以看到在行依赖性跟踪情况下，ORA_ROWSCN反映的时间戳与插入的时间戳间仍会有误差；
   显然这种误差部分源于scn_to_timestamp函数使用的smon_scn_time SCN记录表也仅是粗略记录SCN对应的时间戳。
