    Can someone give me an idea of the log_buffer size ? Currently we have ours set to 163840.

    I know some of the books say that it can be >65536 for busy systems. To me even 160K seems small. Can I make it as large as 64MB - anyone sees any disadvantages to that ???

    Check your "redo log space requests" and "redo log space wait time" from v$sysstat. If you have high counts, an increase in log_buffer will help...

    32 MB Log buffer size will not be used at all.
    You may change it 2 MB or 3 MB.

    Hi,

    If you increase log buffer then redo log space requests will decrease but then the log file sync will take more time. You can check this out from v$system_event.

    You can set the log buffer to 1MB and beyond that it starts acting negatively due to larger log file sync time.

    It is better to tune log_simultaneous copies also along with log buffer size to achive good performance.
