Transactions and Buffer Pool (cont)
Handling no forcing:
- transaction T makes changes & commits, then system crashes
- but what if modified page P has not yet been output?
- must log values changed by T in P as soon as they change
- use these to support REDO to restore changes
Above scenario may be a problem, even if we are forcing
- e.g. system crashes immediately after requesting a
WRITE()
