No, but this is close... "ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET ARCHIVE_LAG_TARGET limits the amount of data that can be lost and effectively increases the availability of the standby database by forcing a log switch after a user-specified time period elapses. A 0 value disables the time-based thread advance feat

Oracle9i hasn't introduced such a parameter; the best way to achieve what you want below 9i is to resize redo logs to be smaller (which several replies have already mentioned)... With 9i Data Guard, you have options where you can set LGWR to ship redo log files to the standby, and there is even

I am not sure if 9i has introduced any such parameter. Other than sizing smaller redo log files [but that still doesn't guarantee that you get a log-switch every X minutes], you'd have to write a DBMS_JOB or a CRON job to do an ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE. Hemant At 06:08 AM 18-08-02 -0800, you

Dear gurus ! It's either a Sunday's dead brain or .. Is there an init.ora parameter to force redo logs switch every 3 minutes or so ? ( the reason is that I need frequent log switches in order for the standby database to pickup changes frequently , i.e. to be "almost" in sync with the primary
