DB_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key for the target database. Use this column to form a join with almost any other catalog view.

BSF_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key of the server parameter file in the recovery catalog. If you issue the LIST command while connected to the recovery catalog, this value appears in the KEY column of the output.

RECID

NUMBER

The record identifier propagated from V$BACKUP_SPFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.

STAMP

NUMBER

The stamp from V$BACKUP_SPFILE. RECID and STAMP form a concatenated primary key that uniquely identifies this record in the target database control file.

BS_KEY

NUMBER

The primary key of the backup set to which this record belongs in the recovery catalog. Use this column to form a join with RC_BACKUP_SET.

SET_STAMP

NUMBER

The SET_STAMP value from V$BACKUP_SET. SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT form a concatenated key that uniquely identifies the backup set to which this record belongs in the target database control file.

SET_COUNT

NUMBER

The SET_COUNT value from V$BACKUP_SET. SET_STAMP and SET_COUNT form a concatenated key that uniquely identifies the backup set to which this record belongs in the target database control file.

MODIFICATION_TIME

DATE

The time when the server parameter file was last modified.

STATUS

VARCHAR2(1)

The status of the backup set: A (all backup pieces available), D (all backup pieces deleted), O (some backup pieces are available but others are not, so the backup set is unusable).

BS_RECID

NUMBER

The RECID value from V$BACKUP_SET.

BS_STAMP

NUMBER

The STAMP value from V$BACKUP_SET. Note that BS_STAMP is different from SET_STAMP. BS_STAMP is the stamp of the backup set record when created in the control file, whereas SET_STAMP joins with SET_COUNT to make a unique identifier.

COMPLETION_TIME

DATE

The time when the backup set completed.

BYTES

NUMBER

The size of the backup set in bytes.
