Oracle Parallel Server How To...

Write out current archive logs

To write out the current archive logs use:

Alter system archive log current;

This performs the equivalent of ‘Alter system switch logfile’ on all instances.

These notes have been tested with Oracle Parallel Server 8.0.5 running under NT 4.

This page represents one page of many pages of notes I made whilst working with Oracle 7 through to 10i. I now no longer work with Oracle databases, but hope that these notes will continue to be of benefit to others.
