Hi Friends,
I am studying Supplemental logging in detail. Have read lots of articles and oracle documentation about it and redo logs. But couldnot found answers of some doubts..
Please help me clear it.
Scenario: we have one table with primary key. And we execute an update query on that table which is not using the primary key column in any clause..
Question: In this case, does the redo log entry generated for the changes done by update query contain the primary columns values..?
Question:If we have any table with primary key, do we need to enable the supplemental logging on primary columns of that table? If yes, in which circumstances, do we need to enable it?
Also please suggest any good article/site which provide inside details of redo log and supplemental logging, if you know.
Regards,
Dipali..

By default, no.
If you activate supplemental logging for this, yes.

Do you need, generally speaking, no.
You have to for some features like Streams.

Thank you so much Michel,
I got Exactly what i was looking for.
Yes, ultimatetly, i am doing study for all this for Stream Replication..
My actual intension was to find "Do we need to enable supplemental logging on primary columns, perticularly for Stream replication" . After getting above doubts solved, i was about to ask this , if not got cleared myself.. But you are simply Superb, Dear. Before i ask, you get me..  This is where experience comes into picture. Instade of just confusing the person by asking various questions (generally not related to original quesion), got the exact point of problem and giving point to point hint..
Thanks..
