Tom, My general rule of thumb in determining how large the redo logs should be is to size them so that they fill no sooner than 20 minutes apart. This is *not* a hard rule by any means. 20 minutes gives log writer plenty of time to clear them so that they can be ready for the next go-around.

You want infrequent log switches, because each log switch flushes dirty blocks from the SGA. The tradeoff is that recovery after a crash will be slightly longer. I would try making the redo log size 1M. 5k every 90 seconds adds up to about 800k in 4 hours (14400 seconds / 90 seconds * 5k =

Tom, It does depend on a number of factors. If you have a number of redo logs, like 10 or more, you can allow a smaller size file as this prevents the database from running out of on-line redo before arch gets one cleaned out. Sizing the redo logs is more a matter of how granular do you
