RE: alert log file

[Farnsworth, Dave]

You can rename the alert log or move it.  Oracle will create a new one the next time it has to write to it.  You don't need to bounce the DB.   Dave -----Original Message----- From: AK [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 9:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: alert log file for  one of the db over here  alert log is biggggggg .Looks like its never been truncated or backup .
