Abstract
A method and system for selectively disabling the logging of database operations during the execution of database processes or the creation of database objects is disclosed. According to the method, changes made to the database through data manipulation statements or queries can include a statement that the change to be executed is not to be logged. If the operation is to be logged, a log buffer stores the information about the changes and a log writer background process writes the operation entries to disk. Similarly, the creation or manipulation of database objects through object manipulation statements can be logged or not logged. As with logged data manipulation statements, if the manipulation of a database object is to be logged, a log buffer stores the information about the changes and a log writer background process writes the operation entries to disk.
