DB_KEY | 
NUMBER | 
The primary key for this database in the recovery catalog. Use this column to join with almost any other catalog view. | 
DBINC_KEY | 
NUMBER | 
The primary key for the incarnation of the target database. Use this column to join with RC_DATABASE_INCARNATION. | 
DB_NAME | 
VARCHAR2(8) | 
The DB_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs. | 
TS# | 
NUMBER | 
The number of the tablespace to which the datafile belongs. The TS# may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created. | 
TABLESPACE_NAME | 
VARCHAR2(30) | 
The tablespace name. The name may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the tablespace is dropped and re-created. | 
FILE# | 
NUMBER | 
The absolute file number of the datafile. The same datafile number may exist multiple times in the same incarnation if the datafile is dropped and re-created. | 
CREATION_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
The SCN at datafile creation. | 
CREATION_TIME | 
DATE | 
The time of datafile creation. | 
DROP_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
The SCN recorded when the datafile was dropped. If a new datafile with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_CHANGE# is set to CREATION_CHANGE# for the datafile; otherwise the value is set to RC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_SCN. | 
DROP_TIME | 
DATE | 
The time when the datafile was dropped. If a new datafile with the same file number is discovered, then the DROP_TIME is set to CREATION_TIME for the datafile; otherwise the value is set to RC_CHECKPOINT.CKP_TIME. | 
BYTES | 
NUMBER | 
The size of the datafile in bytes. | 
BLOCKS | 
NUMBER | 
The size of the datafile in blocks. | 
BLOCK_SIZE | 
NUMBER | 
The size of the data blocks in bytes. | 
NAME | 
VARCHAR2(1024) | 
The datafile filename. | 
STOP_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
For offline or read-only datafiles, the SCN value such that no changes in the redo stream at an equal or greater SCN apply to this file. | 
STOP_TIME | 
DATE | 
For offline normal or read-only datafiles, the time beyond which there are no changes in the redo stream that apply to this datafile. | 
READ_ONLY | 
NUMBER | 
1 if the file is read-only; otherwise 0. | 
RFILE# | 
NUMBER | 
The relative file number of this datafile within its tablespace. | 
INCLUDED_IN_DATABASE_BACKUP | 
VARCHAR2(3) | 
Indicates whether this tablespace is included in whole database backups: YES or NO. The NO value occurs only if CONFIGURE EXCLUDE was run on the tablespace that owns this datafile. | 
AUX_NAME | 
VARCHAR2(1024) | 
Indicates the auxiliary name for the datafile as set by CONFIGURE AUXNAME. | 
ENCRYPT_IN_BACKUP | 
VARCHAR2(3) | 
YES if this datafile has been configured to be transparently encrypted when backed up; otherwise NULL. | 
SITE_KEY | 
NUMBER | 
Primary key of the Data Guard database associated with this file. Each database in a Data Guard environment has a unique SITE_KEY value. You can use SITE_KEY in a join with the RC_SITE view to obtain the DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database. | 
DB_UNIQUE_NAME | 
VARCHAR2(512) | 
The DB_UNIQUE_NAME of the database incarnation to which this record belongs. All databases in a Data Guard environment share the same DBID but different DB_UNIQUE_NAME values. The value in this column is null when the database name is not known for a specific file. For example, rows for databases managed by versions of RMAN before Oracle Database 11g are null. | 
FOREIGN_DBID | 
NUMBER | 
Foreign DBID from which this data file came from. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
FOREIGN_CREATION_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
Creation SCN of a foreign datafile. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
FOREIGN_CREATION_TIME | 
DATE | 
Creation time of a foreign datafile. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
PLUGGED_READONLY | 
VARCHAR2(3) | 
YES if this is a transported read-only foreign file; otherwise NO. | 
PLUGIN_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
SCN at which the foreign datafile was transported into the database. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_CHANGE# | 
NUMBER | 
The SCN of the RESETLOGS operation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. | 
PLUGIN_RESETLOGS_TIME | 
DATE | 
The time of the RESETLOGS operation for the incarnation into which this foreign file was transported. The value is 0 if this file is not a foreign database file. |
