Oracle Database Administration from Zero to Hero - Managing the Redo Log (Part 2 of 4)

The video tutorial explains the concept of System Change Number (SCN) in databases, its role in tracking changes, and how it is used during normal and abnormal shutdowns. It covers the importance of clean shutdowns for database consistency and the process of instance recovery in Oracle databases, which involves rolling forward and rolling back changes. The tutorial also provides practical guidance on managing redo log files, including creating, relocating, and dropping redo log groups and members.
