Syntax options: RECOVERY JOURNAL (LOCATION IS directory-spec) Specifies the location in which the recovery-unit journal (.ruj) file is written. Do not include node names, file names, or process-concealed logical names in the directory-spec. Single quotation marks are required around the directory-spec. This clause overrides the RDMS$RUJ logical name. If this clause is omitted, then NO LOCATION is assumed. Following is an example using this clause: SQL> ALTER DATABASE FILENAME SAMPLE cont> RECOVERY JOURNAL (LOCATION IS 'SQL_USER1:[DBDIR.RECOVER]') See the Oracle Rdb Guide to Database Maintenance for more information on recovery-unit journal files.
