Hi there,

Is anybody out there running 8.1.5 on Siemens 5.44B10? (I don't belive this combination is certified, just curious if anybody's doing it)

Thanks!

Jerry

Subject: Questions re redo log files

Hello,

I have been playing around with the dbv utility and have encountered several questions.

What are the ramifications of using the dbv utility to look at redo logs?

When I created the database I specified a database block size of 8192 in the init.ora file and used the following statement to create the database...

create database "isodtest"

     controlfile reuse
     maxinstances 1
     maxlogfiles  16
     maxdatafiles 30
     character set "US7ASCII"
     datafile
	'$ORACLE_LOCAL/data/isodtest/system01.dbf' size 100002K reuse logfile
	'$ORACLE_LOCAL/data/isodtest/log01.dbf' size 10000K reuse,
	'$ORACLE_LOCAL/data/isodtest/log02.dbf' size 10000K reuse,
	'$ORACLE_LOCAL/data/isodtest/log03.dbf' size 10000K reuse;

yet when I run the dbv utility I must specify a blocksize of 512 to look at the redo logs.

Why is the block size of the redo log files 512? Do I need to worry about the fact that the blocksize is different from the rest of the files? Do I have any control over this at database creation time?

When I do analyze the redo logs the utility returns the following for each page...

DBVERIFY: Release 8.0.5.1.0 - Production on Fri May 19 11:42:33 2000

DBVERIFY - Verification starting : FILE = log01.dbf Received on Fri May 19 2000 - 13:43:37 CDT
