Hi,

I guess you meant to say: two redolog groups (instead of files) must be present.

Dropping logfile groups/members should not cause any downtime. However, study section "Dropping Log Groups" in the Oracle Database Administrator's Guide before starting.

Here is a quick example:

SQL> select * from v$log;

    GROUP#    THREAD#  SEQUENCE#      BYTES    MEMBERS ARC STATUS           FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --- ---------------- ------------- ---------
         1          1        131   10485760          1 NO  INACTIVE               1478735 04-APR-05
         2          1        132   10485760          1 NO  ACTIVE                 1503046 09-APR-05
         3          1        133   10485760          1 NO  CURRENT                1505530 09-APR-05

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT;

System altered.

SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3;

Database altered.

SQL> select * from v$log;

    GROUP#    THREAD#  SEQUENCE#      BYTES    MEMBERS ARC STATUS           FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --- ---------------- ------------- ---------
         1          1        134   10485760          1 NO  CURRENT                1506559 09-APR-05
         2          1        132   10485760          1 NO  INACTIVE               1503046 09-APR-05

Best regards.

Frank

Note that Frank did that switch logfile so that he could drop the group, because it was current.

Note also that 5 groups really isn't all that many, so make sure you have a good reason to be cutting it down.
