In First Topic Part 1 we talked about how to move/Rename Control File Today the same topic but for different file LogFile Let start 

SQL> SELECT member FROM v$logfile;
MEMBER
-------------------------------------------------
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\11.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\11.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO02.LOG
C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\11.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO01.LOG

To move or rename a logfile do the following.

  • Shutdown the database.
  • Rename the physical file on the OS.
  • Start the database in mount mode.
  • Issue the ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE command to rename the file within the Oracle dictionary.
  • Open the database.
