Add one more condition: New in Oracle 9i, it will write when 1 meg is reached, so the 1/3 criteria is never reached if you use a big buffer.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 8:59 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L KG, Thanks for the response. Just for my curiosity, is it documented somewhere that the log buffer if flushed when 2/3rd full? From the Manual /server.920/a96524/c09procs.htm#3158 (please check the URL in OTN, the first part is not complete), here is an excerpt <MANUAL> LGWR writes one contiguous portion of the buffer to disk. LGWR writes: a.. A commit record when a user process commits a transaction b.. Redo log buffers a.. Every three seconds b.. When the redo log buffer is one-third full c.. When a DBWn process writes modified buffers to disk, if necessary </MANUAL> At least this was the behavior I tested in 8.1.7; although I have not tested in 9i. This has also been stated by several Oracle Support Analysts. Thanks.
