RMAN相关视图

The following table lists the techniques used to access metadata from the RMAN repository.
1)RMAN LIST and REPORT commands：用于RMAN备份恢复，即使用LIST与REPORT命令
2)V$ views：用于手动备份恢复，详细见手动备份恢复部分
When the database is open, several V$ views provide direct access to RMAN repository records in the control file of each target database. Example: V$BACKUP_PIECE, V$BACKUP_SET 
In some cases, V$ views supply information that is not available through use of the LIST and REPORT commands. Some V$ views such as V$DATAFILE_HEADER, V$PROCESS, and V$SESSION contain information not found in the recovery catalog views.
3)RC_ views：用于使用catalog
If your database is registered in a recovery catalog, then RC_ views provide direct access to the RMAN repository data stored in the recovery catalog. The RC_ views mostly correspond to the V$ views.
