_disable_logging = TRUE


ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header
ORA-00353: log corruption near block 39540 change 3193784747 time 01/13/2009 22:08:29
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/u02/oradata/DEV/redo01.log'
ORA-16038: log 1 sequence# 2530 cannot be archived


Beware of the hiddden parameter _disable_logging

My goal was to speed up an import of data by disabling archive logging without turning off the Archiver. Of course in hindsight I know now that this was a bad idea and simply puting the database in noarchivelog mode would have been much simpler. But it's always fun to learn new things.


SQL> alter database noarchivelog;

SQL> alter database open;


Once I set the hidden parameter _disable_logging=TRUE, I kicked of the import and pretty quick started recieving alert log errors notifying me of corrupt redo log block headers. My advice - do not use this parameter!

How to recover from
ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header

  1. Is this parameter fixed on Oracle10g Released 2 as mentioned on metalink? What version did you use.
