NMI (need more information)

What are you init.ora parameter set for LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL, LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT? Are the archivelogs always 4MB in size, or are they varying sizes?

Is there any automated scripts for backups or anything issuing an 'ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT' command? --- Neil Received on Wed Feb 11 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
