Syntax
completedTimeSpec::=
Purpose
A subclause that specifies when a backup or copy completed.
Restrictions and Usage Notes
All date strings must be either:
Formatted according to the Global Technology date format specification currently in effect.
Created by a SQL expression that returns a DATE
value, as in the following examples:
'SYSDATE-30
'
TO_DATE('09/30/2000 08:00:00','MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS')
.
The TO_DATE
technique specifies dates independently of the current Global Technology environment variable settings.
Note:
In Oracle8i, theFROM
/UNTIL
...
TIME
syntax in the LIST
, CROSSCHECK
, and DELETE
commands was replaced with completedTimeSpec
. If you are adapting an RMAN script from before Oracle8i for use in the current release, then you must update these commands for the script to work correctly.Keywords and Parameters
