One other thing, regardless of how big your redo logs are, having the
archivelog destination fill up is a complete brand newbie error. Okay, it
happens, but better not let it happen again, or too often if there are
mitigating circumstances like a standby with dog slow connection (and you
can even compensate for that).
If you're on 'NIX, script something to check the space used in the
archivelog filesystem and have it backup and delete at a specified point and
at least send you an email/page when space is getting tight.
If you're on Windows, it's much the same, just a little more difficult (for
me anyway, I am not a Windows guy but i wrote .bat files to do it for the
DBs I do have on that O/S).
If you're using Grid Control, you can set an alert with a "corrective
action."
