在线日志状态含义

1.UNUSED:表示在线日志没被用过。一般是刚刚加上，或者RESETLOGS
2.CURRENT：当前的重做日志。
3.ACTIVE：日志是激活的，但不是当前的日志。当进行灾难恢复的时候，是需要的。它可能正在用于块恢复。它可能也可能没有被归档。
4.CLEARING：日志文件被重建。完成之后是UNUSED状态。
5.CLEARING_CURRENT:当前日志被清除。
6.INACTIVE：日志对于实例恢复已经无用。可能用于块恢复。可能已经，也可能没有被归档。

一直理解的是错误的。原来这个状态，跟归档与否是没有关系的。。。

■UNUSED - Online redo log has never been written to. This is the state of

a redo log that was just added, or just after a RESETLOGS, when it is

not the current redo log.

■ CURRENT - Current redo log. This implies that the redo log is active.

The redo log could be open or closed.

■ ACTIVE - Log is active but is not the current log. It is needed for crash

recovery. It may be in use for block recovery. It may or may not be

archived.

■ CLEARING - Log is being re-created as an empty log after an ALTER

DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE statement. After the log is cleared, the

status changes to UNUSED.

■ CLEARING_CURRENT - Current log is being cleared of a closed thread.

The log can stay in this status if there is some failure in the switch

such as an I/O error writing the new log header.

■ INACTIVE - Log is no longer needed for instance recovery. It may be in

use for media recovery. It may or may not be archived.
