V$ARCHIVE: Redo Log Files for Archiving

$ARCHIVE displays information about redo log files in need of archiving. Each row displays information for one thread. This information is also available in V$LOG. Oracle recommends that you use V$LOG.

• GROUP# – Log file group number
• THREAD# – Log file thread number
• SEQUENCE# – Log file sequence number
• ISCURRENT – This is the current online redo log
• CURRENT – This column is obsolete and maintained for backward compatibility. The value of this column is always equal to the value in ISCURRENT.
• FIRST_CHANGE# – First SCN stored in the current log
