RE: onmode -b 7.31 to revert back from 9.40

Posted By: LARRY SORENSEN

In Response To: Re: onmode -b 7.31 to revert back from 9.40 (Art Kagel)

Thanks to all for the help. I first doubled the number of logical logs without success. I then was able to change the two (2) databases to non-logging temporarily (as suggested) while I did the updates and the conversion. Once I brought the instance back up in IDS 7.31, I changed the two (2) databases back to buffered logging.
