remove archive logs while database is down without increase archive log size

edited Mar 27, 2019 10:14AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 7 commentsAnswered ✓

how can I remove/expire the archive logs while database is down without increasing fra size? The database is down and it won't start up unless I increase the fra size, what if there was no more size to increase???

A few days ago database was down and archive logs full. I need to start the database to remove the archive logs. The database would not start because the archive log was full.

I had to increase the archive log space to start the database and then remove the expired/obsolete space from the archive log.

Thanks
