Why Start SQL*Plus with /nolog

485418Oct 2 2008 — edited Nov 1 2008

What is the difference between starting SQL*Plus as in

sqlplus sys as sysdba

versus

sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba

I can imagine that the second method prevents some log file from being written but sometimes logs are useful. Is there more to it than that?

Thanks,
Gregory
