Hi All,

Have a small question to clarify with you.

Making all the tables in UAT server to NOLOGGING mode will increase the performance? as the UAT server is not generating the ARCHIVE LOGS?

Regards
Muktha

Hi All,

Found the answer just now,

The NOLOGGING feature never affects redo generation for regular INSERT, UPDATE, MERGE, and DELETE statements.

Thanks
Muktha

Muktha gave you a pretty good answer. But let's just assume that it is possible and that you can do this. My question would be *why*? Sure, you make performance of your test environment better. But at the same time, you would be masking performance issues that you would see as soon as the change goes to production. That would be a very bad thing to do, IMO. I for one would hate to be the DBA that had to polish his resume because the test environment the company paid for was intentionally modified so that performance issues were harder to spot until production.

Cheers,
Brian

Or the guy who lost a test environment because it couldn't be restored and teams of devs are sitting idling for a few days whilst it is rebuilt. That would suck.

This is a very good point; I consider any dev/test system to be a production one as far as the developers are concerned.

I always say that it may not be production for our end users, but its production for someone. If I lost a test database, I have 40 people out of work until I get it restored.
