David,
Based on the ls output it seems you may have 4 groups with 1 member in groups 1,2 & 4 but 3 members in group 3. Do a "select * from v$log;" and see how the logs are really setup.

I would suggest you want to have the same number of members in each group.

If you want them to switch less often either (a) produce less redo (use logminer to analyse and maybe updates / deletes etc are happening that don't need to) or (b) use bigger logfiles. This assumes they're switching because they're full. How big are the archive logs that are produced - are they all around the same size or are some very small?

As for LogMiner - if you're in archive log mode and you've backed up / got a copy of the archive logs from 2 days ago then yes LogMiner will be able to analyse them.

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

I found couple redo logs in my Oracle8.0.5 database, as shown they are switched every 5 minutes. I'd like to have only two or three logs out there and don't want them to be switched until every 4 hours. Is there a way to control it that way?

Secondly, if redo log switchs every 5 minutes, does LogMiner have capability to view transaction history from two days ago? Please advise.

                                    
$ ls -l redo*

Thanks,
