title: Why Oracle SQL Flash Recover Area is blank?
body: <p>I get 0 rows in the results I use
  <code>SELECT * from V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST</code></p>
  <p>V$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST is a default table name for the oracle Flash recovery area.
  Does this mean that a Backup never happens on this platform or Flash recovery area name is different from the default? If yes, then how can I locate the Flash Recovery area on Oracle Database if yes?</p>
