How to Switch Oracle Redo Logs: Manual Method
The Oracle database switch log is completed through the log switch operation, which is automatically triggered when the log sequence number runs out or reaches a certain size. However, if manual triggering of the log switch operation is needed, the following command can be used:
- Connect to the Oracle database using SQL*Plus.
- Execute the following command to switch log groups:
ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE;
This command will force the database to switch to the next available log group so that it can start recording new transaction logs.
It is important to note that switching log groups may cause a temporary decline in database performance, so this operation should be avoided during peak database usage.
