I can't find it in the docs either. Info at ixora.com suggests setting LOG_BUFFER to a multiple of the log block size. http://www.ixora.com.au/tips/tuning/log_buffer_size.htm
This next link explains what a log block size is: http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/log_block_size.htm Have fun! Ed -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 1:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I am doing some performance monitoring on an 8.1.7 DB on Windoze. I ran the following query; SQL> select name,value 2 from v$sysstat 3 where name = 'redo log space requests'; NAME VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- redo log space requests 27 If the number of 'redo log space requests' is much over zero then I should increase the LOG_BUFFER size in my init.ora, at least that is what I get from RTFM. One question I have is that does the size of the LOG_BUFFER parameter have to be a multiple of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter? I vaguely remember that it shuold be but have not found anything in TFM to verify this.
