Flashback data with "Flashback Query"?

Hi,
I have a question about FLASHBACK QUERY. In Oracle's website, it is written like below
(http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/Flashback_Overview.htm):

The Flashback Query mechanism is flexible enough to be used in many situations. You can:
  • query data as it existed in the past.
  • compare current data with past data. You can compare individual rows or do more complex comparisons such as finding the intersection or union.
  • recover deleted or changed data.


I think that " recover deleted or changed data " item means that we can recover only the records in a table through FLASHBACK QUERY, is that right? We cannot recover the DDL changes with it, instead, we need to use FLASHBACK DATABASE for this purpose, can you please confirm that?

Howdy, Stranger!
