At the risk of this being called a flame, can I suggest you take a deep breath, pause asking questions whose every undertone suggests that 'this Oracle product is crap/prone to crash/ too difficult to bother with', and get thee to any number of websites where plenty of documentation is available.

I'm not trying to be awkward: honestly, the alert log is covered in great depth in Chapter 2 of the Oracle Database Administration course, so it's considered fairly basic. And whilst it's good to have tried looking at what is available on the link you gave, there are stacks more of them out there. We all have to start somewhere... so now's your chance.

So, first try my site... and have a look at the 'Other Resources' page (don't forget the other pages, either, though!). You'll find links there to, amongst others, Jonathan Lewis' site (he hosts the 'Co-operative FAQ'), and to technet.oracle.com, where every piece of Oracle documentation is available (and searchable), and all versions of Oracle are available for free download. Also go to Google.com, and use its newsgroup archive to search for old posts from this very group.

Regards
HJR
