Sorry - that's what I meant. No archive log generation. NOT no redo log generation. Thanks for pointing that out. Is it Friday yet? Jim Why putting DB in noarchivelog will avoid redo generation? There will be no archiving, but redo will continue to be generated. Alex Hillman

We use Clones of databases all the time. Its much faster than the Export/import run. We simply take the DB down, copy the data files to a new server in the same file layouts (i.e. ... same directory tree), copy over and change the init file for the new DB name, and bring it up. Then you have

And thus you discover the inane mechanism that SQL Server inherited from Sybase, by which both try to do concurrency. Guess what happens when a long running transaction marks the log near the end, and not too long afterward the log needs truncated? If memory serves, ( hasn't worked too well
