Backing Up Oracle - Computing at Cornell

11.3.1 Report utility
The report utility provides analysis of your backup and recovery situation.
Below are examples of the report utility.
11.3.1.1 Report target database schema
You can report the structure of the database using the REPORT SCHEMA
command.
This example shows an overview of the target database structure using
the REPORT SCHEMA command:
RMAN> report schema;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
Report of database schema
File K-bytes Tablespace RB segs Name
---- ---------- ------------------ ------- -------------------
1 280576 SYSTEM YES C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\SYSTEM01.DBF
2 51200 RBS YES C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\RBS01.DBF
3 20480 USERS NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\USERS01.DBF
4 20480 TEMP NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\TEMP01.DBF
5 10240 TOOLS NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\TOOLS01.DBF
6 20480 INDX NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\INDX01.DBF
7 20480 DRSYS NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\DR01.DBF
8 30728 OEM_REPOSITORY NO C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\BEACH\OEM_REPOSITORY.ORA
You can also use the REPORT SCHEMA to show the structure of the database
at a prior time. For example, if you want to know the structure of the
database 2 weeks ago, you can issue the following:
RMAN> report schema at time 'sysdate-14';
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
Report of database schema
