7.7.6.5 DROP FLASHLOG
Syntax
DROP FLASHLOG [FORCE]
Usage Notes
The DROP FLASHLOG command can be run at runtime, but the command does not complete until all redo data on the flash disk is written to hard disk.
If FORCE is not specified, then the DROP FLASHLOG command fails if there is any saved redo. If FORCE is specified, then all saved redo is purged, and Oracle Exadata Smart Flash Log is removed.
Caution:
If DROP FLASHLOG fails due to the existence of saved redo, then do not use the FORCE option unless you are sure that all saved redo is no longer needed for any databases to perform recovery. Contact Oracle Support Services for additional information.
