Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: how to changes the sequence no for the redologs
Dennis,
I beg to differ with you on this issue.
To keep the naming convention simple for the logs and to be able to
differentiate between different instances logs, you may have to use 4
characters plus the sequence number for the log name. as an example
PRDA+seq.log and PRDB+seq.log. If the OS does NOT allow long names the
logger will halt after the sequence 9999. It would be nice to just
"reset the logs" to 0001 and move along its merry way. I learned this
fact this weekend when the logs reached 9999 on a Novell os (admin
stated that the long names was enabled). I had to change the log naming
convention to PRA+seq.log and the problem was corrected.
Now I monitor the log sequence closely and will rename again if
needed.

Sarath - Only an incomplete recovery resets the logs, whether you are
on
Oracle 7 or Oracle 8i. Essentially you pay the big license fees to
Oracle to
prevent that from occurring any more than it possibly needs to. I'm not
sure
why you want the sequence reset. Just for neatness? You have many
years
before the sequence is exhausted. Be patient, your life as a DBA isn't
likely to always be this boring.
