logical log questions -Reply

Jon Set your log device to /dev/null (onmonitor/archive/tape parms) and run ontape -c (Continuous backup of logs) in a spare session (or background it) The second step may be unneccessary as i have an idea that Online will discard and reuse logfiles when the log backup device is set to /dev/null. Perhaps someone else would like to comment on this. HTH -- -- Peter Tashkoff NZ Kiwifruit Project Consultant/DBA Marketing Board.
