删除非当前日志组的几点疑问解析
1、检查日志组情况
SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,SEQUENCE#,ARCHIVED,STATUS from v$log;
GROUP#THREAD#SEQUENCE# ARC STATUS
---------- ---------- ---------- --- ----------------
1171 YES INACTIVE
2172 YES INACTIVE
3173 NOCURRENT
从以上即可看出当前日志组为GROUP# 3，SEQUENCE# 73
2、删除group1 即71
[oracle@db02 orcl]$ mv redo01.log redo01.log.bak
3、开始写入数据
写入数据：
SQL>begin
2for a in 1..1000000 loop
3insert into t values (a);
4commit;
5end loop;
6end;
7/
4、再次检查
SQL> select GROUP#,THREAD#,SEQUENCE#,ARCHIVED,STATUS from v$log;
GROUP#THREAD#SEQUENCE# ARC STATUS
---------- ---------- ---------- --- ----------------
1174 NOINACTIVE
2175 NOACTIVE
3176 NOCURRENT
可以发现，日志发生了三次切换，最新日志序列为 76；
5、分析一下alert日志

...skipping one line--这里可以看出，根本没有将redo写入到74这一个组

总结：结合日志可以分析出，当group 1 、71（已经归档）日志组被删除以后，日志组还是可以切换到group 1 ,不过因为redo01已经不存在，直接跳过不写入redo。不过对其归档就会报错。
当其他的几个日志组都写满的时候，再次切换到redo01的时候，因为redo01无法归档，这个时候就会hang住。
