How do you disable archiving mode in Oracle?

To turn off the archiving mode of the Oracle database, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Oracle database using the sysdba privilege.
  2. Check the status of the current archiving mode. You can use the following command:
  3. Retrieve the log mode from the database view v$database.
  4. If the query result displays as ARCHIVELOG, it indicates that the current database is in archive mode.
  5. If the database is currently in archiving mode, it needs to be switched to non-archiving mode. This can be done by running the following command:
  6. Change the database to NOARCHIVELOG mode.
  7. After executing this command, the Oracle database will cease generating and storing archived logs.
  8. Confirm that the archive mode has been disabled. You can verify by executing the following command again.
  9. Retrieve the log mode from the database.
  10. If the query results show NOARCHIVELOG, it means that the archiving mode has been successfully disabled.

Note: Disabling archive mode will prevent the database from being backed up and restored online, so make sure you have taken other backup measures before proceeding with the operation.
