Given an SCN (system change number), and assuming an SCN for which the data is still in the undo logs, what information about the SCN can I derive?

  • of course, SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP() gives an approximate time the data was committed.

  • Is there any other information I can derive? What transaction, what tables, what data were affected? etc?
