Hi all,

I just came across something I never heard about so far: Reference manual states that v$database.log_type can be NOARCHIVELOG, ARCHIVELOG or MANUAL.
The question is: what does "MANUAL" mean?

For sake of completeness:
It's mentioned in docs for 10.1, 10.2, 11.1 and 11.2. 9.2 does not list the possible values at all. 8.1.7 lists NOARCHIVELOG, ARCHIVELOG.
[That's all versions I found on tahiti.oracle.com] Metalink also did not help in shedding any light.

Any clues?
Vit
