This video tutorial covers the management of archived redo log files in Oracle Database. It explains the importance of setting the LOG ARCHIVE format, the procedure to enable and disable archive log mode, and how to display the current archiving mode. The tutorial also discusses managing archive logs in CDB and non-CDB databases and outlines best practices for storing and handling archived redo logs. Key concepts include ensuring unique file names, using SQL Plus commands, and implementing storage strategies.

What is the primary purpose of setting the LOG ARCHIVE format parameter?

• To increase database performance

• To ensure unique names for archived redo log files

• To reduce storage space

• To enhance security

Which variable is used to distinguish between RAC instances?

• Sequence number

• Activation ID

• Database ID

• Thread number

What must be done to enable the archive log mode in a database?

• Disable the FRA

• Set the LOG ARCHIVE format parameter

• Issue the ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVE LOG statement

• Restart the database in read-only mode

What happens if the archive destination is set to the FRA?

• In the FRA

• In any PDB

• In the root container

What is a recommended storage practice for archived redo log files?

• Store them in high-spec storage

• Use disk mirroring and striping

• Store them in the cloud

• Keep them in the same directory as the database

Why is it important to have a deletion policy for archived redo log files?

• To increase file access speed

• To enhance security

• To manage storage space effectively

• To improve database performance

What is one of the key learning points from the lecture?

• How to secure the database

• How to increase database speed

• How to manage archived redo log files

• How to create a new database

What is the main use of archived redo log files?

• For database functionality

• For recoverability

• For performance enhancement

• For security purposes
