Buffer Pool
Aim of DBMS buffer pool:
- reduce number of disk reads and disk writes
Assumption:
- some pages are accessed many times during query evaln
Achieves read/write reduction by:
- holding many pages in memory for re-use
- only removing them when "absolutely necessary"
- sharing pages among multiple transactions (global pool)
