Flashback Database and Archive Logs

edited Nov 13, 2013 3:07AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered
In some documentation I have read that in order to flashback to a recovery point one needs to have all the Flashback Logs AND the Archive Logs for the period in question. This does not seem logical to me. It would seem that all data necessary to 'flashback to retention poiint' should be in the flashback logs. Can you explain or point me to a good document that explains when and why I would also need archive logs too?

Howdy, Stranger!
