Output Considerations

The FLASHBACK commands can generate enormous amounts of output when run against a large input file. To avoid problems, use either the FROM and TO commands, the SELECT command, or the COUNT command to limit output.

When you do not use the FROM and TO commands, the corresponding FROM and TO fields in the printout page headers are not utilized. Also, the values are set to the default dates and times (01/01/00 00.00.00, 12/31/99 23.59.59).

The way the FLASHBACK reports process records prevents from enumerating the date and time range of the records.
