AM >>>Tom: File sizes of 5k are not good.
If you have the room on your server, Iwould increase that
significantly. Perhaps to 50-60m. Log switching every90 sec. is
not good. There are many INIT.ORA parameters that
control the performance of redologs. LOG_BUFFERS or LOG_BUFFER_SIZE is
one of them. This defaults, Ibelieve, to 32k. Increase this to
over 512k. There are many more. Look atyour INIT.ORA
settings. Also, if you can identify the type of hardware you
are running as adatabase server, we can give you some additional
choices.Thank YouStephen P. KarniotisTechnical Alliance

ORACLE-LSubject: Redo Logs QuestionHere is the
background of the stiuation I am facing.We are piloting a application
that uses a hybred store and forward system toaggregate all of our disparate
student data into one central database.Currently there are 20 schools
integrated into the system with another 48 togo, those 20 schools hold about
half of our 46k student population.The system allows (requires) student
demographics to be entered through aweb client, while grades, attendance,
health, conduct, etc. are uploadedover night.The system comes with
the redo log file size set to 5k, which when the usersin the 20 pilot
schools get going causes a log switch about every 90seconds. In my
limited, steep learning curve expereince, this does not seemlike a good
thing. Add to that, they cancelled the Oracle Tuning class,which I
have to wait until the system is in to take now.So my questions (that
the books don't really seem to want to answer):How frequently should
redo log file switches occur?How large should my redo logs
be?I am guessing the answer to both of these questions is, It
Depends. So myquestion really is, how do I determine what the correct
settings for myinstallation are?Tom-- Please see the
