    Question Archivelog

    Hi everyboby! I was checking an Oracle 9i Database when I saw that It has 345 files with .arc extension (archivelog files), some of then 3 months old. How can I delete then if my backups are ok? Where can I set a retention time for then?
    Since now Thanks,

    Read this twice and then re-ask your question. http://download-west.oracle.com/docs...a96519/toc.htm

    I would rather suggest u to copy those files to tape. Make sure copy was successful and then delete if you want to.

    Read the backup and recovery manual, u will need those files to recover ur database in case of a crash and how many of them are needed will depend on the backup.

    Read the manuals "Backup and Recovery". The link has been provided by Jeff.
