logs records are not unnecessary. Any DBMS writes out log records for any change to the database in order to ensure recoverability and integrity. If you have a process that is writing a ton of log records and is causing your logs to fill, but they cannot be archived, because your thread is still running, that is another issue. There are a couple of ways around that issue. Have you considered LOAD? If it is a process that for some reason you feel cannot be handled with load, then issue periodic commits during your processing to free up the log files.
