To disable the archivelog mode in Oracle database, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in as the SYS user in Oracle database command line tools such as SQL*Plus or SQL Developer.
  2. Verify the archiving mode of the current database. You can query it using the following command:
  3. Retrieve the log mode from the V$DATABASE view.
  4. If the returned result is ARCHIVELOG, it indicates that the database is currently in archive mode.
  5. If the database is currently in archive mode, it needs to be switched to non-archive mode. This can be done by using the following command:
  6. Change the database to NOARCHIVELOG mode.
  7. Switching modes will deactivate the archive log and cannot recover the logs that have already been archived.
  8. Confirm that the archived log has been disabled. You may now proceed with step 2 to confirm that the database’s archiving mode has been changed to NOARCHIVELOG.
  9. Exit the Oracle database command line tools like SQL*Plus or SQL Developer.

These steps can help you in disabling the archiving of logs in the Oracle database.
