To disable archiving of log files in Oracle database, you can follow the steps below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Firstly log in to the SQL*Plus command line interface of the Oracle database or connect to the database using other management tools.<\/li>\n
  2. Log in to the database using the SYS user or a user with SYSDBA privileges.<\/li>\n
  3. Use the following command to switch off archivelog mode:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Change the database to be in NOARCHIVELOG mode.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Verify that the log mode of the database has been changed to NOARCHIVELOG, you can use the following command to check the log mode of the database:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What is the log mode of the current database?<\/p>\n

      If the query result is NOARCHIVELOG, it indicates that archiving logs have been turned off.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Finally, restart the database for the changes to take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Please note that after disabling archive log mode, the database will no longer generate archive logs, which may pose a risk of data loss. Therefore, before making such a change, make sure you have performed proper backups and understand the risks clearly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
