Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB
Dennis - The database is opened in read only mode. The database changes
once a yr to be updated w/ new images. At that time, I put the db in
read write mode, add the images, then open db in read only and back it
up while db is open. It is a web query db that I would like to minimize
down time. Is there any benefit to putting this db in archive log mode?
I don't see any, but I may be missing something :).
Thanks for your help,
Gene

Gene - By read only, do you mean the contents of the database are
never
changing? Do you ever take it out of read only mode, like to change
something? Why back it up occasionally? Just do a cold backup once and
save
the tapes.

Subject: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB
I have an 8i read only database that is used for query of images.
Occassionally, I back it up using OS utilities (cp, tar, TSM, etc)
while the
db is open.
Question: Is there any benefit to having this db in archive log mode?
Since
it is in read only mode, I see no benefit or am I missing something?
Thanks for any insight you may provide,
Gene
