You could try:
select
max(ktuxescnw * power(2,32) + ktuxescnb)
from
x$ktuxe;
This gives you the highest SCN recorded in
any of the undo segment headers. This would
only be an approximation for Oracle 9, as the SCN
seems to increment every 3 seconds in the complete
absence of any active transactions - but in Oracle 8
I THINK it will give you the current SCN.
