Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Lemon Juice in Ants Pooh-Poohed/Redo Log Switching
While I've stayed away from the discussions about offended dieties and the like where people espouse their philosophies of life, I could not let an assertion which was clearly mistaken stand. In fairness to Mr. Steven, ants will have some citric acid in their bodies; it is an intermediate step in the oxidation of glucose.
Now for an Oracle question. It is often touted that redo logs should switch every 15
minutes to 30 minutes. Are these
the lower and upper limits, should the average time to switch logs be within that
range, or should the median be between
that range?

Can't the list members PUH-LEEZE stick (mostly) to messages germane to the purpose of this list? I don't mind the occasional off-topic post, but, for crying out loud, how about a little restraint? The original recipe posting(s) have given rise to a plethora of messages about chocolate, sugar, ants, travel, etc. etc.
I open list messages as they arrive and I don't appreciate the cumulative waste of my time in reading all of this nonsense.
If you all MUST ventilate at length about eating chocolate-covered ants, let's adopt a convention of including "OFF-TOPIC" in the message header, at least, so it's possible to filter them out.
And no, I am not a grouch, curmudgeon, in need of lightening up, etc. Sometimes enough is enough, already.
