128.You want to track and store all transactional changes to a table over its lifetime. To accomplish this

task, you enabled Flashback Data Archive with the retention of 5 years. After some time, the business

requirement changed and you were asked to change the retention from 5 years to 3 years. To accomplish

this, you issued the following command:

ALTER FLASHBACK ARCHIVE fla1 MODIFY RETENTION 3 YEAR;

What is the implication of this command?

A. The command produces an error because the retention time cannot be reduced.

B. All historical data is retained but the subsequent flashback data archives are maintained for only three years.

C. All historical data is purged and the new flashback data archives are maintained for three years.

D. All historical data older than three years is purged from the flashback archive FLA1.

Scenario: Using Flashback Data Archive to Enforce Digital Shredding

Your company wants to "shred" (delete) historical data changes to the Taxes table after ten years. When you create the Flashback Data Archive for Taxes, you specify a retention time of ten years:

CREATE FLASHBACK ARCHIVE taxes_archive TABLESPACE tbs1 RETENTION 10 YEAR;

When history data from transactions on Taxes exceeds the age of ten years, it is purged. (The Taxes table itself, and history data from transactions less than ten years old, are not purged.)
