Sorry, that wasn't clear enough:

I meant the backup time for one individual redo log will increase. Of course your right, ... the overall bytes to be backed up don't increase.

Correct.

The only potential disadvantage is that recovery will take longer when bringing up the database after a crash.

        I dissagree, they will be bigger but there will be less of them. If the amount of processed data does not change, I do not think changing the size of the redolog files should affect the total amount fo bytes to be backeup up

        Thanks for the recommendation anyway ;)

        Cheers,

Fermin.

Hi

I would suggest to increase the redo log size. Doesn't effect you during daily operation, but prevents the database from hanging during nightly batches. No side effects I can think of (except for the fact that, of course, it will take you longer to backup the archived logs since the files are bigger, duh ;).

Good luck
Stefan

        I think I am having problems with my redologs. Under normal circumstances no errors arise, but if I do a massive import of data as I was doing last night, this is what alertSID.log shows from time to time:

Wed Apr 2 23:29:52 2003
Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 557295   Current log# 3 seq# 557295 mem# 0: /baandata/oradata/baan/redobaan03.log Wed Apr 2 23:31:11 2003
Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 557296 Checkpoint not complete
  Current log# 3 seq# 557295 mem# 0: /baandata/oradata/baan/redobaan03.log Wed Apr 2 23:31:50 2003

        In that exact time, everything freezes and the database is dead until a new redolog can be used.

        I have 3 redologs 50 Mb each. I've read that the error is because too much data is trying to get into the redologs and all of them are full, Oracle does not have the time to reuse a redolog and has to wait until the redolog is ready to be reused.

        So the solution seems to make these redolog files bigger or to create new ones. What are the side effects of one or the other? will performance under normal work be penalised?
