Thanks Rajaram ! 

Here's the bottom line :

NOLOGGING doesn't apply to conventional DML at all ! It applies only to
CREATE/ALTER objects and Direct Load Inserts such as using SqlLoader or
INSERT as SELECT

There was similar Q from Vikas@innoventry a few days back
You cannot turn off logging.
Reason: Search through your mails dated 3 days  back.

Subject:        NOLOGGING/LOGGING

I am curious to know if the NOLOGGING option would work in an update or
insert statement, I mean by using NOLOGGING in an update statement can
writes to the redo log be turned off for a particular update or insert
operation for that matter.  Specially for huge updates where heavy log
switches are possible filling up the archive log directory.
Please let me know if this can be done.
 
example in a situation where 10 Million rows need to updated.
 
update temp NOLOGGING 
set zip=11003
where city='Boston'
/
 
 
Thank you
