  2. Open SQL*Plus or any other SQL client tool.
  3. Execute the following SQL query:

  5. This query will return the archiving mode of the current database. If the return value is ARCHIVELOG, it means the database is in archiving mode; if the return value is NOARCHIVELOG, it means the database is in non-archiving mode.

Option 2: Utilize SQL*Plus commands.

  1. Log in to the Oracle database using an administrator account.
  2. Open the SQL*Plus command line interface.

You can check the archiving mode of an Oracle database using any of the methods mentioned above.
