    Online Redo logs

    Hi,
    Whenever any changes has to be written to Online Redo log files, that has to be done in the memory; where does that happen. Does it happen somewhere in OS buffers

    Regards

    redo log buffer in SGA. LGWR writes from redo log buffer to redo log file.

    The following could be useful...

    Hi, you seem to be mixing it up with the database buffer cache(db_block_buffer) in the SGA. The needed database blocks are in this database buffer cache. Whereas, the redo log buffer has the changes made to this database blocks in the database buffer cache.

    Check this out...

    Hope this clears it out.

    Hello....hth,
    What i am telling is, any data that has to be wrtten to the file it has to be done in the memory...right...forget abt oracle......any software for that matter............
    So for datafiles we have buffer cache....

    in the same way, for writing into online redo logfiles it has to be done in the memory...right....so where in the memory.....

    As Oracle 9i Administrator Guide said, Redo file are filled with redo records, each of which is a description of a change made to a single block in the database. How does Logminer reconstruct the DML statement in SQL_REDO?
