本文解释了SCN（系统变更号）的概念，它是Oracle数据库中用于标识数据库更改的时间点的一个数值。每当事务被提交时，Oracle都会为该事务分配一个唯一的SCN。
580.What does the SCN represent?
A. The system change number, which is a point in time relative to transactions within a given database.
B. A number that represents time. Thus, at 1300 hours, the SCN is the same on all databases.
C. The security change number, which represents the security code that is needed to access any
database structure.
D. A conversion factor that converts internal database time to external clock time.
E. UTC time in the database, providing a standardized way of tracking time in Oracle.
Answer: A
答案解析：
System Change Number. A database ordering primitive. The value of an SCN is the logical point in time at which changes are made to a database.

Committing Using an SCN
Optionally, you can specify the SCN for the transaction when forcing a transaction to commit. This feature lets you commit an in-doubt transaction with the SCN assigned when it was committed at other nodes.
