Determining Log Switch Frequency

This document provides instructions for determining log switch frequency in an Oracle database. It recommends that the log switch frequency not exceed 6 per hour. The query given returns the number of log switches per hour over the past 7 days to help analyze the log switch frequency. Increasing the size of redo log groups can help lower the frequency.

Mini How-to: Determining Log Switch Frequency

Version 1.

Date 14.07.2009

Task
You would like to determine Log Switch Frequency.
Solution
Too much log switching is no good for database, you should see numbers not bigger than 6 per
hour. Increasing the size of redo log groups is one way to lower log switch frequency, please
refer to Oracle documentation on how to lower log switch frequency.
You can use the following query to determine your log switch frequency past 7 days (by hour):

SELECT TO_CHAR(FIRST_TIME, 'DD/MM') AS "DAY"

, TO_NUMBER(SUM(DECODE(TO_CHAR(FIRST_TIME, 'HH24'), '00', 1, 0)), '99') "00:
