OCP考题解析_043: flashback logs

为 了实现闪回数据库，Oracle需要记录数据块的before image到一种新的日志中
这种日志被命名为flashback database logs闪回日志、闪回日志总是被循环复用，连续写出
在一个实例中当一个数据块首次被修改时，前台进程会将该数据块的before image拷贝到位于shared pool中的flashback log buffer中
RVWR进程定期地将flashback log buffer中的记录刷新到磁盘上
在DBWR进程可以写出相关脏块到磁盘之前，DBWR必须保证该buffer header相关FBA(Flashback Byte Address)的flashback log buffer已经写出到闪回日志

这被称作 "先写闪回日志" 机制
