5. Important Notice
Oracle strongly recommends that all NOLOGGING operations are avoided in the primary database.
Oracle will not be able to keep the standby database consistent with the primary database during nologging operations.
To ensure this does not happen, Oracle introduced the command (version 9i and above):
SQL> ALTER DATABASE FORCE LOGGING;
This ensures that all database write operations are logged, and the standby database will be consistent.
Enable Force Logging in PDB
SQL> alter session set container=MYPDB1; Session altered. SQL> select pdb_name, logging, force_logging from cdb_pdbs; PDB_NAME LOGGING FORCE_LOGG -------------------- --------- ---------- MYPDB1 LOGGING NO SQL> ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE MYPDB1 OPEN READ WRITE RESTRICTED FORCE; Pluggable database altered. SQL> ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE MYPDB1 ENABLE FORCE LOGGING; Pluggable database altered. SQL> ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE MYPDB1 OPEN READ WRITE FORCE; Pluggable database altered. SQL> select pdb_name, logging, force_logging from cdb_pdbs; PDB_NAME LOGGING FORCE_LOGG -------------------- --------- ---------- MYPDB1 LOGGING YES
For SQL Server, the user databases which are part of Dbvisit, the recovery model must be set to FULL. In the below example for databases NEW and AdventureWorks, the recovery model has been set to FULL as pointed out in below figure.
You can also refer to the below Microsoft documentation link on how to view the recovery model and change the recovery model from SIMPLE to FULL.
