Hi!

I've got a question...
How does online redo logfiles work when there is a long transaction?
Are they written to archived redo logs as they get full or they wait for the transaction to end?
If they wait for the transaction to end... How does the database react if it runs out of redo logfiles?

Thanks a lot!

Daniela.

... and what happens if it needs to rollback a transaction that at some point had to be written to archived logs?

Rollback marker is written in redo log, that's all.

Well, when I say that's all, that's all from the point of view of redo logs but of course all modifications are undone in the data blocks (and also rollback header is updated to indicate that the transaction completed and those kind of things).

And how does it work when logs are applied to the Standby db?

When it sees the rollback marker, Oracle applies the rollback data to undo modifications in data blocks as it did it in primary.
