High Frequency of Redo Log Files [message #329403]

We are using Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0) on our production server. We have a primary server and a standby server. The standby server is in managed recovery mode.
On primary server there are four redo log groups of size 150 MB. Currently archive files are generated every 2 min (average). We fired SQL queries in the shared pool (for v$sql) to identify the queries that are mostly fired by the transactions taking place. How can we find the cause of initiation of the transactions? How can we reduce the high archive file generation rate without increasing the size of the redo log files.

hi,
try checking

the ratio of "db block changes" to "db block gets"

"DB block changes" is the count of the total number of changes that were part of an update or delete operation that were made to blocks in the SGA. Such changes generate redo log entries and hence become permanent changes to the database if the transaction is committed. This is an indication of how hard the database is working.

regards

Alan

Run Statspack (or rather UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT as you're on on obsolete version) and check to see which insert/update/delete statements are generating the redo.
