Configuration parameters that affect logging

The LOGBUFF, PHYSBUFF, LOGFILES, LOGSIZE, DYNAMIC_LOGS, AUTO_LLOG, LTXHWM, LTXEHWM, SESSION_LIMIT_LOGSPACE, SESSION_LIMIT_TXN_TIME, and TEMPTAB_NOLOG configuration parameters affect logging. The LOGBUFF, PHYSBUFF, LOGFILES, LOGSIZE, DYNAMIC_LOGS, LTXHWM, LTXEHWM, and TEMPTAB_NOLOG configuration parameters affect logging.

Logging, checkpoints, and page cleaning are necessary to maintain database consistency. A direct trade-off exists between the frequency of checkpoints or the size of the logical logs and the time that it takes to recover the database in the event of a failure. Therefore, a major consideration when you attempt to reduce the overhead for these activities is the delay that you can accept during recovery.
