Hi All,

I'm getting UNEXPECTED result in both 8i and 9iR2.

Could someone please tell me why insert /*+APPEND*/ generates more redo log.

I'm pretty sure that there is NO index involved in my test table(redolog_test).
Also the user is not a SYS and SYSTEM.
The DB is running in ARCHIVE LOG mode.

SQL> show user
USER is "MUT"

SQL> drop table redolog_test;
Table dropped.

SQL> create table redolog_test pctfree 99 pctused 1 as select * from all_objects
where 1=2;
Table created.

SQL> insert into redolog_test select * from all_objects; 19412 rows created.
