I'm reading through the 9.2 admin guide (yawn) and it says that the database must be mounted but not open to add, drop or rename redo logs. I have done this many times with the database up and running, with no problems. Why would it say this in the doco, or is the doco just plain wrong (again)? It doesn't let you do anything to redo logs that aren't archived or are currently being used, what's the harm?
I don't get all the emails from the list - in fact I get none most of the time. So please be sure to include my personal email address when responding.
Thanks
