Oracle 18c推出的一个新功能就是PDB快照轮播，最多可以创建8个pdb的快照，而这8个构成的一组快照就被称作快照轮播。当达到第8个快照限制时，新的快照就会覆盖最旧的快照，就像redo log一样。PDB的快照主要作用是当出现了问题可以闪回到快照的时间点，另一个功能是基于快照来查询历史数据。

SQL> SELECT r.CON_ID, p.PDB_NAME, PROPERTY_NAME, PROPERTY_VALUE AS value, DESCRIPTION FROM CDB_PROPERTIES r, CDB_PDBS p WHERE r.CON_ID = p.CON_ID AND PROPERTY_NAME LIKE 'MAX_PDB%' AND description like 'maximum%' ORDER BY PROPERTY_NAME; CON_ID PDB_NAME PROPERTY_NAME VALUE DESCRIPTION---------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 ORCLPDB1 MAX_PDB_SNAPSHOTS maximum number of snapshots for a given PDB

默认情况下是手动创建快照，我们可以把它改成自动创建。

SQL> select snapshot_mode,snapshot_interval/60 from dba_pdbs;SNAPSH SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL/60------ --------------------MANUALSQL> alter pluggable database snapshot mode every 4 hours;Pluggable database altered.SQL> select snapshot_mode,snapshot_interval/60 from dba_pdbs;SNAPSH SNAPSHOT_INTERVAL/60------ --------------------AUTO 4

要返回手动模式，输入mode manual即可。

SQL> alter pluggable database snapshot mode manual;Pluggable database altered.SQL> alter pluggable database snapshot;Pluggable database altered.

手动创建快照，可以自己指定名字，也可以使用系统自动生成的名字。通过查看DBA_PDB_SNAPSHOTS视图，可以找到快照存放的路径及创建快照的SCN号。

SQL> SELECT CON_ID, CON_NAME, SNAPSHOT_NAME, SNAPSHOT_SCN AS snap_scn, FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH FROM DBA_PDB_SNAPSHOTS ORDER BY SNAP_SCN; CON_ID CON_NAME SNAPSHOT_NAME SNAP_SCN FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH---------- -------------------- ------------------------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 ORCLPDB1 SNAP_2953839490_989014667 2821702 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2821702.pdb 3 ORCLPDB1 PDB_SNAP 2823303 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2823303.pdb 3 ORCLPDB1 SNAP_2953839490_989015970 2823679 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2823679.pdb[oracle@oracle-18c-vagrant ORCLPDB1]$ ls -lshtotal 1.3G4.0K drwxr-x---. 8 oracle oinstall 4.0K Oct 8 22:39 ORCLCDB171M -rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 171M Oct 8 22:18 snap_2953839490_2821702.pdb171M -rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 171M Oct 8 22:38 snap_2953839490_2823303.pdb171M -rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 171M Oct 8 22:40 snap_2953839490_2823679.pdb371M -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 371M Oct 8 22:39 sysaux01.dbf271M -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 271M Oct 8 22:39 system01.dbf 56K -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 63M Oct 1 23:21 temp01.dbf101M -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 101M Oct 8 22:39 undotbs01.dbf5.1M -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 5.1M Oct 8 22:39 users01.dbf

如果要删除快照，则有两种方法，第一种就是使用alter pluggable database删除，第二种是修改max_pdb_snapshots参数，当max_pdb_snapshots参数设置成0时，将删除全部快照。

SQL> alter pluggable database drop snapshot SNAP_2953839490_989015970;Pluggable database altered.SQL> SELECT CON_ID, CON_NAME, SNAPSHOT_NAME, SNAPSHOT_SCN AS snap_scn, SNAPSHOT_TIME, FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH FROM DBA_PDB_SNAPSHOTS ORDER BY SNAP_SCN; CON_ID CON_NAME SNAPSHOT_NAME SNAP_SCN SNAPSHOT_TIME FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH---------- -------------------- ------------------------- ---------- ------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 ORCLPDB1 SNAP_2953839490_989014667 2821702 1539008272 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2821702.pdb 3 ORCLPDB1 PDB_SNAP 2823303 1539009503 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2823303.pdbSQL> alter pluggable database set max_pdb_snapshots=0;Pluggable database altered.SQL> SELECT CON_ID, CON_NAME, SNAPSHOT_NAME, SNAPSHOT_SCN AS snap_scn, SNAPSHOT_TIME, FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH FROM DBA_PDB_SNAPSHOTS ORDER BY SNAP_SCN;no rows selected

演示了上述功能之后，还有一个功能，就是我们可以根据快照创建pdb。

SQL> alter pluggable database set max_pdb_snapshots=8;Pluggable database alteredSQL> alter pluggable database snapshot pdb_snap;Pluggable database altered.SQL> SELECT CON_ID, CON_NAME, SNAPSHOT_NAME, SNAPSHOT_SCN AS snap_scn, SNAPSHOT_TIME, FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH FROM DBA_PDB_SNAPSHOTS ORDER BY SNAP_SCN; CON_ID CON_NAME SNAPSHOT_NAME SNAP_SCN SNAPSHOT_TIME FULL_SNAPSHOT_PATH---------- -------------------- ------------------------- ---------- ------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 ORCLPDB1 PDB_SNAP 2825283 1539010328 /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB1/snap_2953839490_2825283.pdbSQL> ![oracle@oracle-18c-vagrant ~]$ mkdir -p /opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB2SQL> create pluggable database ORCLPDB2 from ORCLPDB1 using snapshot PDB_SNAP create_file_dest='/opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB2'; create pluggable database ORCLPDB2 from ORCLPDB1 using snapshot PDB_SNAP create_file_dest='/opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB2'*ERROR at line 1:ORA-65040: operation not allowed from within a pluggable database SQL> alter session set container=CDB$ROOT;Session altered.SQL> create pluggable database ORCLPDB2 from ORCLPDB1 using snapshot PDB_SNAP create_file_dest='/opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB2'; Pluggable database created.SQL> show pdbs; CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED---------- ------------------------------ ---------- ---------- 2 PDB$SEED READ ONLY NO 3 ORCLPDB1 READ WRITE NO 5 ORCLPDB2 MOUNTEDSQL> alter pluggable database ORCLPDB2 open; Pluggable database altered.

这样我们就根据快照创建了一个新的PDB，假设当前PDB出现了数据覆盖，我们就可以使用这个历史快照的PDB来恢复数据。

当然还有一个很好用的功能就是我们在创建pdb的过程中把他设置成15分钟产生一个快照。当然配置这个功能有一个先决条件：CDB必须处于本地undo模式.

SQL> create pluggable database ORCLPDB3 from ORCLPDB1 file_name_convert=('ORCLPDB1','ORCLPDB3') snapshot mode every 5 minutes;Pluggable database created.

可以看到每隔5分钟自动创建一个快照

[oracle@oracle-18c-vagrant ORCLPDB3]$ ls -lrt snap*-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179134736 Oct 8 23:13 snap_2091710291_2830531.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179167158 Oct 8 23:18 snap_2091710291_2832545.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179285979 Oct 8 23:23 snap_2091710291_2833104.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179284365 Oct 8 23:28 snap_2091710291_2833687.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179302205 Oct 8 23:33 snap_2091710291_2834965.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 179315484 Oct 8 23:38 snap_2091710291_2836695.pdb-rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 115724288 Oct 8 23:43 snap_2091710291_2837222.pdb

我们可以做个实验测试一下。在生成快照之前创建一个表插入点数据，这里上一次快照是23:43分。

23点48分产生了新的快照，此时我们使用新的快照做一个克隆，登陆到ORCLPDB4数据库后，我们会发现是有数据的。

SQL> alter session set container=CDB$ROOT;Session altered.SQL> create pluggable database ORCLPDB4 from ORCLPDB3 using snapshot SNAP_2091710291_989020084 create_file_dest='/opt/oracle/oradata/ORCLCDB/ORCLPDB4';Pluggable database createdSQL> alter pluggable database ORCLPDB4 open;Pluggable database altered.SQL> alter session set container=ORCLPDB4;Session altered.SQL> select count(1) from a1; COUNT(1)---------- 72897

这个功能对于测试人员非常有用，例如移动电信现在有BCV环境，专门用于经分抽数及测试，而这个BCV环境是底层同步的一个克隆。使用18c数据库，我们就可以直接创建快照，然后使用快照克隆一个新数据库形成BCV环境给经分抽数及测试使用了。
