Hey gurus

I have 10.2.0.1 oracle on my server.
My database size is about 2 Gb.
The archival growth is around 9 Gb a day.So I am having problem in managing space. Temporarily I am deleting old archive files ( Cron Job.) I am little concerned about what should i do thinking long term?. Should i put my database in Noarchivelog or ??
Also the error i saw in alert log is

You may have to use more and/or bigger redo logs.
You may have to add new database writers.
It depends on wait events.
To know wait events use StatsPack.

If all this does say nothing to you search for all these words (the last ones of each sentence) in Oracle documentation.

There a process is waiting for a redo log.

See how many time between each switch (v$log_history), calibrate your logs to have 4 to 10 per hour.

db_writer_processes parameter.

I didn't say you have to do all that.
I said depending on the situation you have to do one, several or all of that.
Maybe you have to activate dbwr io slaves
Maybe you have to do other things.

But you surely have to investigate -> StatsPack, iostat, vmstat...

Thats an option if you can tolerate transaction loss..

I even don't talk about that option which scares me for an OLTP production database.
If he does that I bet we'll soon have another question from him asking how to recover his data when his datatabase is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.

Thanks Michel and Dreamzz for your replies.

I Know and i dont even want to put my database in archive log

The problem is i dont have much disk space with me . so i have to Delete old archive log files time to time.

Thanks for the suggestion to add more logfiles.
I will definitely check StatsPack, iostat, vmstat

So in a nutshell what shoul i do ? should i keep deleting old log files. or there can be any other way out..

Regards

yes delete old archivelogs after taking RMAN backup.

and use compressed CLAUSE in backup command.It will also save your disk space.
like

RMAN>backup as compressed backupset database;

example
 ACTUALL SIZE            BACKUPSIZE BY COMPRESSED OPTION
 38.50G	                          13.54G

                         BACKUPSIZE By UN COMPRESSED OPTION
 28.58G                            28.01G

Hey, don't forget to also backup your database.
Archived logs are useless if you don't have a backup of the database.
Moreover, if you don't want more then one backup, you can delete all archived logs generated before the last database backup.
