ON COMMIT, THE LOG WRITER FLUSHES THE LOG BUFFER TO DISK

8.

þ

C. On COMMIT, the log writer flushes the log buffer to disk. No other

background processes need do anything.

A, B, and D. A is wrong because checkpoints only occur on request, or

on orderly shutdown. B is wrong because the algorithm DBWn uses to select

buffers to write to the datafiles is not related to COMMIT processing, but to

how busy the buffer is. D is wrong because ARCn only copies filled online

redo logs; it doesn’t copy change vectors in real time.
