. Database administrators will no longer have access to these commands. There is no replacement feature for DRA. - The
RECOVER…SNAPSHOT TIME
method of recovering a database to a point in time using a particular snapshot is deprecated in Oracle Database 19c.Instead of
RECOVER…SNAPSHOT TIME
, Oracle recommends that you useALTER DATABASE BEGIN/END BACKUP
before and after creating the storage snapshot of the data files and then useRECOVER .. UNTIL TIME

completion time. Oracle recommends thatALTER DATABASE BEGIN/END BACKUP
always be used when performing snapshots on a running database to ensure data recovery integrity. Archived log redo logs must be separately backed up and restored for recovery operations.See Recovery Using Storage Snapshot Optimization in the Backup and Recovery User's Guide for detailed examples.
