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

this, you issued the following command:
ALTER FLASHBACK ARCHIVE fla1 MODIFY RETENTION 3 YEAR;
What is the implication of this command?

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:
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.)
