New in Oracle 19.12 – Log switch SCN in alertlog

Just patched few DBs and noticed this change:

Before:

2021-08-26T05:30:52.463731+02:00
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 101101 (LGWR switch)
  Current log# 1 seq# 101101 mem# 0: +U01/ANJODB_SITE1/ONLINELOG/group_1.282.988988971

And with 19.12:

2021-08-27T07:17:16.811288+02:00
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 101176 (LGWR switch),  current SCN: 132131048333
  Current log# 1 seq# 101176 mem# 0: +U01/ANJODB_SITE1/ONLINELOG/group_1.282.988988971

Nice touch from Oracle. 🙂
