Re: Unlogged Deletes in Oracle

Hi Howard,
as an old ex vendor 'not supported' means don't do it because the vendor is not going to help.....so 'it can be done using unsupported and undocumented work arounds' to me means the same as 'it cannot be done in the product'.

An old friend of mine pointed out unlogged operations for everything have been around for years and years on DB2 for unix, and they are supported by the vendor. Even updates now....seems I wasn't dreaming......

And yes, performing unlogged operations means the DBA had better understand what he/she is doing because doing it wrong can kill the database and a crash may leave the partition and perhaps the whole database in an unusable state. But DBAs are supposed to be well trained and smart people. If they don't know what they are doing, they should not be doing DBA work.

Best Regards
