Summary
Backport PR #16812
On tables that have undergone a FLASHBACK operation, this assumption is broken:
In this PR, the garbage collection root is determined by starting from the current snapshot and traversing backward to the target time point using the
prev
relation between snapshots. This approach enhances safety (allowing tables modified by theALTER ... FLASHBACK
operation to be handled correctly) but may require traversing a (much) longer history of the table being purged.Tests
