Study Notes
-
Four different ways for handling recovery exist: Steal/No-Force (Undo/Redo), Steal/Force (Undo/No-redo), No-Steal/No-Force (Redo/No-undo), No-Steal/Force (Noundo/No-redo).
-
Deferred Update recovery scheme: No Undo/Redo.
-
In a single-user system, data update goes through the following steps: 1) transactions record updates in the log, 2) updates are saved on database disk at commit point under WAL scheme, 3) after reboot from a failure, the log is used to redo all affected transactions, 4) no undo is required because no AFIM (Anomalous Fatal Image) is flushed to the disk before a transaction commits.
-
Example of a transaction sequence in a single-user system: T1 writes items D, then A; T2 writes items B, then D, then A.
-
In a concurrent users system, deferred update recovery requires both an active table and a commit table.
-
During recovery, all transactions in the commit table are redone, while all transactions in the active table are ignored.
-
A commit table transaction may be redone twice but it remains consistent due to the idempotent property of a redone transaction.
-
Undo/No-redo Algorithm: AFIMs of a transaction are flushed to the database disk under WAL before it commits.
-
In a single-user environment using Undo/Redo Algorithm, recovery manager undoes a transaction if it is in the active table and redoes a transaction if it is in the commit table.
-
In a concurrent execution environment using Undo/Redo Algorithm, concurrency control is required and a log is maintained under WAL.
-
Recovery manager performs undo and redo for recovery in a concurrent environment.
-
The Immediate Update recovery technique flushes AFIMs to the database disk under WAL before a transaction commits, and the recovery manager undoes all transactions during recovery, with no redos.
-
Checkpointing is used to minimize work for the recovery manager by committing transactions and keeping active transactions.
-
Shadow paging is a method used to manage access to data items by concurrent transactions, using both current and shadow directories.
-
The AFIM (Active File Information Manager) and BFIM (Backup File Information Manager) maintain shadow copies of data items.
-
Elmasri/Navathe's "Fundamentals of Database Systems" describes the database recovery process using the ARIES algorithm.
-
ARIES recovery algorithm consists of three steps: analysis, redo, and undo.
-
Analysis identifies dirty pages and transactions active at the time of crash, and determines the appropriate log record for redo to start.
-
Redo applies necessary changes to bring the database to a consistent state.
-
Undo reverses the effects of transactions that were active at the time of crash.
-
ARIES Recovery Algorithm uses Write Ahead Logging (WAL).
-
Log records are written for data updates, transaction commits, transaction aborts, undo, and transaction ends.
-
Each log record has a unique Log Sequence Number (LSN) and stores the previous LSN of the transaction, transaction ID, and type of log record.
-
The transaction table and dirty page table are stored in the log during checkpointing for efficient recovery.
-
Checkpointing writes begin_checkpoint and end_checkpoint records to the log, appends the transaction table and dirty page table to the log, and writes the LSN of the begin_checkpoint record to a special file.
-
ARIES uses "fuzzy checkpointing" to reduce the cost of checkpointing and allow the system to continue executing transactions.
-
During recovery, the analysis phase accesses the transaction table and dirty page table, and writes any necessary log records to the log.
