It's been awhile since I've looked at flashback queries, and
I have a couple questions:

* Given an SCN, is there any way to know for certain whether
a flashback query to that SCN is possible? Can a non-DBA
user determine this?

* Is there an easy way to determine how much undo data my
database is (hopefully) retaining? In other words, can I
easily determine how far back in the past I *can* go?

Yes, here it is Christmas eve, and I'm working away...
