Step 3: Roll Forward Log Records
Step 3: Roll Forward Log Records
The third step in fast recovery is to roll forward the logical log records that
were written after the most-recent checkpoint record. This action reproduces
all changes to the databases since the time of the last checkpoint, up to the
point where the uncontrolled shutdown occurred. Figure 4-6 illustrates this
step.
