Thread: inconsistent archive log size

    I have an Oracle 8.0.4 database running on Windows NT. There are two redo log groups with size of 5M for each redo log. Ever since the creation of the database, there has been inconsistent archive logs generated. Some with the same size of redo logs, many of them with very small size like 500 bytes. It is a development database with very light activity.

    Is this a bug or did I miss something?

    log_checkpoint_interval = 10000
    log_buffer = 163840
    log_checkpoint_timeout = 1800
    log_archive_buffer = 4
    log_archive_buffer_size=127

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    There's two possiblities why you may be getting log files that are not close to 5M:
    1. an "alter system swith logfile" command is being executed.
    2. You have a redo log file out there that is not sized to 5M.

    I have hot backup script running once a day with switch log command. But there are archived logs with different size at time other than the backup time.

    Here is the query v$log:
    13:21:38 SQL> select * from v$log;

    GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS
    FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM
    --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --- ----------------
    ------------- ---------
    3 1 26 5242880 2 YES INACTIVE
    627490 28-JUN-01
    4 1 27 5242880 2 NO CURRENT
    648478 29-JUN-01
    5 1 25 5242880 2 YES INACTIVE
    625038 28-JUN-01

    Notice the group# is 3, 4, 5. I added these three new groups after the creation of the database and dropped 2 old redo log groups.
