Vivek - When you've got Cary Millsap quoting Steve Adams, well the advice just doesn't get any better than that. Go with their advice. As I pointed out, I replied because at that point nobody had posted yet.

At this point I haven't seen any replies to your request. The specific wait points to the log buffer itself as being too small, not particularly the redo logs themselves. Your init.ora parameters show this buffer as being only 10-meg. I would suggest you increase it. But your redo logs are only 10-meg themselves, so you should consider increasing the size of the logs while you are at it or you may hit that as the next limit. Since the redo logs are continuously written, it is usually recommended that they be on a device that is devoted to redo logs. Dennis Williams DBA, 80%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
