Recovery techniques

Redo logging

  • Log contains redo records: the after version of each update.

  • Disk has changes from committed transactions.

  • But some of them may exist only in the log.

  • On recovery, the committed changes that exist only in the log need to be redone, (e.g. update heap and b-trees).
