RMAN正确地删除Archivelog以及设置有备库的归档删除策略
原文链接：http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_64e166580100xks5.html
如何正确地删除Archivelog：
Archivelog并不能直接得从OS层直接物理删除，因为archivelog的相关信息是记录在controlfile中的，当物理删除后不会改变controlfile的设置。并且在查询相关的动态视图(例如v$archived_log)时，该部分日志仍然标注为存在。也就是说Oracle并不认为这些日志被删除了，所以在删除archivelog的时候，需要我们在其他地方做一些设置。
一、使用RMAN清楚物理删除后的记录
可以使用RMAN来删除archivelog，具体可以按以下步骤操作：
1、物理删除archivelog
2、进入RMAN
3、crosscheck archivelog all;
4、delete expired archivelog all;
这样就在一些Oracle的记录中查不到相应的archivelog记录了。
二、直接使用RMAN删除archivelog
其实在RMAN中是可以使用命令直接将ARCHIVELOG删除的，命令如下：
RMAN> DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-7';
表示删除7天以前的所有archivelog，但是这个命令的缺点是无法对archivelog进行细致的划分。
三、使用RMAN备份achivelog后删除
这是一种最为稳妥的方法了，使用RMAN备份archivelog，备份后全部删除
backup format '/u01/arch_%T_%s_%U' archivelog all delete input;
或者
backup database plus archivelog;
注：我在库上设置了Streams后，使用RMAN删除archivelog会导致报错RMAN-08137: WARNING:
archive log not deleted as it is still needed. 不知道该如何解决，据说是10.2的一个bug，如果真
是bug的话，那只能在OS层设置删除，或用RMAN进行强制删除了。
10g之后的版本，Oracle在RMAN中内置增加了一项归档文件的删除策略，终于，DBA可以仅通过一项配置就
解决该问题了。该策略对应两个值：
APPLIED ON STANDBY：设置为该值时，当通过附加的DELETE INPUT子句删除Standby数据库仍需要的日志
时，会提示RMAN-08137错误。不过用户仍然可以手动地通过DELETE ARCHIVELOG方式删除。
NONE：设置为该值时，则不启用归档文件的删除策略。默认情况下就是NONE。
例如，启用APPLIED ON STANDBY：
RMAN> CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBY;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN> run
{
backup archivelog all delete input format 'ZHSVR044_%d_set=%s_piece=%p_date=%T.ARC.rmn';
}
都知道在controlfile中记录着每一个archivelog的相关信息，当然们在OS下把这些物理文件delete掉后，在我们的
controlfile中仍然记录着这些archivelog的信息，在oracle的OEM管理器中有可视化的日志展现出，当我们手工清除archive目录下的文件后，这些记录并没有被我们从controlfile中清除掉，也就是oracle并不知道这些文件已经不存在了!这时候我们要做手工的清除的话，下面我经过实验，可以尝试这种方法：
1. 进入rman
2. connect target /
3. crosscheck archivelog all;
4. delete expired archivelog all;
这时候我们再去OEM中看就一定看不到，如果你的从来没有做过这个动作的话，我们可以比较从这个动作前的controlfile后动作后的controlfile的大小!
ORACLE正确删除归档并回收空间的方法
ORACLE正确删除归档并回收空间的方法
一个ORACLE归档日志经常满，表现为/oraarchive 这个文件空间占用100％大家一定抱怨ORACLE为何没有归档维护工具，很多人直接删除了事，错了，ORACLE有，而且很智能，可以正确的删除归档和FLASHBACK，不过切记,ORACLE归档日志对于ORACLE的数据恢复和备份非常重要，不到万不得已不要删除归档日志。
删除归档日志的过程
以ORACLE用户身份登录到数据库服务器主机或通过网络连接
进入ORACLE数据备份工具
rman target/
或rman target/@orcl
在命令窗口里面执行
DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-7';
说明
SYSDATA-7，表明当前的系统时间7天前，before关键字表示在7天前的归档日志，如果使用了闪回功能，也会删除闪回的数据。
同样道理，也可以删除从7天前到现在的全部日志，不过这个命令要考虑清楚，做完这个删除，最好马上进行全备份数据库
DELETE ARCHIVELOG FROM TIME 'SYSDATE-7';
UNIX/LINUX下也可以通过FIND找到7天前的归档数据，使用EXEC子操作删除
find /oraarchive -xdev -mtime +7 -name "*.dbf" -exec rm -f {} ;
这样做仍然会在RMAN里留下未管理的归档文件
仍需要在RMAN里执行下面2条命令
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete expired archivelog all;
所以还不如上面的方法好用，不过用FIND的好处就是，可以在条件上，和EXEC子项上做很多操作，实现更复杂的功能
3.简要介绍一下report obsolete命令
使用report obsolete命令报告过期备份
RMAN> report obsolete;
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1
Report of obsolete backups and copies

4.使用delete obsolete命令删除过期备份:

RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 1
using channel ORA_DISK_1

Do you really want to delete the above objects (enter YES or NO)? yes

5 在rman中用crosscheck检查归档日志,2个归档日志都是失败的:
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
释放的通道: ORA_DISK_1
分配的通道: ORA_DISK_1
通道 ORA_DISK_1: sid=14 devtype=DISK

6 试着同步一下,看行不行,结果不行,crosscheck还是失败:
RMAN> resync catalog;
正在启动全部恢复目录的 resync
完成全部 resync
RMAN> crosscheck archivelog all;
释放的通道: ORA_DISK_1
分配的通道: ORA_DISK_1
通道 ORA_DISK_1: sid=14 devtype=DISK

7 用list expired看看是否有失效的archive log,证明没有失效的archive log:
RMAN> list expired archivelog all;
说明与恢复目录中的任何存档日志均不匹配
8 更改语言环境试试,结果再次crosscheck,2个archive log 都成功了:
RMAN> exit

删除N天以前的归档日志，有两个命令：
delete archivelog until time 'sysdate-N'
delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-N'
看下两者的区别：
RMAN> list archivelog until time 'sysdate-1';

区别已经很明显：
list archivelog until time 'sysdate-1'; 此时是按照归档日志开始时间即fisrt_time作为截止时间
list archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-1' 是按照归档日志完成时间即completion_time作为截止时间
试想如果删除归档日志，还是采用delete archivelog all completed before 'sysdate-N'
