Reset Redo Log Files

390534Jul 31 2003 — edited Aug 19 2003
How do I reset the contents of the REDO.LOG files?

I just set up and installed the LogMiner and when I do a SELECT sql_redo
FROM V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS

I am seeing way more information then i care to see. I do see what I wanted at the end of the results so it would appear all I need to do is reset this log file.


In Sybase you issue truncate log command. I am new to Oracle and can not find the equivalent.

Thank you,
David Miller

Hi,

CAST is great for that: 
SELECT	CAST (created_time AS TIMESTAMP)	AS created_timestamp
FROM	order_tbl;
 

I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.

try with

TO_CHAR,TO_TIMESTAMP

+1 for CAST.

TO_TIMESTAMP could work, but it takes a VARCHAR2 which complicates things a little.

Thanks guys,

CAST it is, and it works for me.

Thanks
