The Log-buffer value in the initialization file is not reflected on the values stored in V$SGA, or V$SGASTAT. There is no relation - that I could find - between the value in the pfile and the V$SGA value. Oracle docs indicate that the parameter log_buffer sets the size of this buffer. Can someone help? Many Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If the log_buffer value you specify is less than 4 times the db_block_size Oracle will silently enlarge it to this value.

SQL> select parm "Parameter Value",
  2         mem  "Memory Value",
  3         greatest(mem, 4*blksiz) "Expected Value"
  4  from   (select value blksiz from v$parameter where name = 'db_block_size'),
  5         (select value parm   from v$parameter where name = 'log_buffer'),
  6         (select value mem    from v$sga where name = 'Redo Buffers')
  7  /

Parameter Value Memory Value Expected Value
--------------- ------------ --------------
409600                565248         565248


Best regards.

Frank

I changed the log_buffer parameter to 1 byte and saw no change in values oracle produces when I shut the database and restarted it. This is a test database with db_Block_size of 2048 bytes. The value returned was 77112 much greater than 4 X 2048 which is 8192. the information that you gave me Frank was good to start the diagnostics but still I nned more help. Thank you in advance. M.
