No. Actually a job is forcing the log switch every 5 minutes, to = minimize
data loss in case of disaster. It's a primary-standby configuration, = but the
client did not have licence for Enterprise Oracle. So managed standby database was not an option and we had to imitate it. Tamas

Hi,

I am using Oracle 8iR2 on WinNT in archive log mode. There's a job = which
enforces logswitch every 5 minutes. It would take some time to explain = why
this is necessary, but we can not change this. The funny thing about = this
is, that although data flow is VERY low, hardy 20-30 records change in = this
time gap, still archived log file size vary between 64kB and 1 MB?=20

Dose some one have an idea, what may cause this big variance in file = size?=20
