HI,
I'm running oracle 8.1.6 on solaris 7. My database does about 30 million
inserts a day and if I export all the daily tables the following day, it comes
out to be about 2GB compressed. So, I'm puzzled why if I have my archive redo
logs enabled ( each redo log is about 2GB in size and I have 3 groups total )
how come I produce about 20 or so archive files everyday, each being about 1GB
in size after I compress it? So that makes a total of 20GB of data or so just
after 1 day of inserts. I thought maybe the total should be pretty close to my
export of all of the daily tables. What the heck is in these archive redo logs
anyway? A bunch of overhead junk? I thought the redo log switch did not happen
until the redo log filled up. Doesn't say inserting 100M of data into a
database produce 100M of redo log information? Or does 100M of inserts produce
1 GB of redo log information. Is there a parameter I have messed up somewhere?
I'm not having any database problems, but it looks like I'm just gonna need a
lot of tapes. thanks in advance....
