Oracle 隐含参数 _disable_logging 详解

提示：Oracle的隐含参数只应该在测试环境或者在Oracle Support的支持下使用。
从Oracle的系统表中，我们知道Oracle存在一个隐含参数_disable_logging可以用于禁用日志生成，这个参数显然只能用于测试目的（可以极大提高Benchmark测试的性能），禁止日志生成必然导致事务的不可恢复性,而且会导致日志文件损坏。

SQL> select ksppinm,ksppdesc from x$ksppi where ksppinm like '%logging';

KSPPINM              KSPPDESC
-------------------- ------------------------------
_disable_logging     Disable logging

因为特殊的需要，对这个参数进行了一点简单测试:

1.设置参数

[oracle@jumper bdump]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Wed Oct 19 11:01:19 2005

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production

SQL> alter system set "_disable_logging"=true scope=both;

System altered.

2.事务测试

SQL> create table t as select * from dba_users;

Table created.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

  COUNT(*)
----------
        12

SQL> shutdown abort;
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> select count(*) from t;
select count(*) from t

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

由于未产生相应日志，数据库crash或shutdown abort之后，上一次成功完成的检查点之后变化的数据将无法恢复。
