hi,

I installed Oracle 9i pro to do some experiment on my laptop, and I realized that it takes some mega bytes of space to do logs everyday, but I didn't know that it goes so quick! 7GB are eaten and now I can't do anything with 0 bytes left on my harddisk c:/.

How can I free the space? I mean, maybe I don't need a complete log, what should I do to save some disk space and get rid of the huge amount of files generated?

This is really urgent!Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks.

Andi

if the database is on archive log mode, disable it.

You may try one of the followings:
1.Disabled the Archive log mode.
OR
2. Compressed the Disk Drive where your database exist.
OR
3. If you are experimenting then you may delete the archive log files physically time to time.
But the Best way would be disabling the Archive log mode.

Hope this will help you.
With Best Regards,
Anup
