ARIES**

Q. Briefly explain ARIES Recovery approach?

Ans: ARIES  algorithm is a state-of-the-art recovery algorithm, incorporating a variety of optimizations designed to improve concurrency, reduce logging overhead, and reduce recovery time
Uses a log sequence number (LSN)to identify log records , and stores LSN s in database pages to identify which operations have been applied to a database page.


ARISE recovers from a system crash in three passes:a) Analysis Pass

It is  support to the Physiological redo operations, which are physical in that  affected page is identified, but can be logical within the page.

It is use dirty page table to minimize unnecessary redos during recovery.

It is use fuzzy checkpointing scheme that records only information about dirty pages and associated information and does not even require writing of dirty pages in the background, continuously,  instead of writing them during checkpoints.

ARIES recovers data in three passes:

In this pass determines which transactions to undo, which pages where dirty at the time of the crash, and the LSN from which the redo pass should start. In this pass find the last complete checkpoint log record, and reads in the Dirty Pages Table from this record.

If  there are no dirty pages, it sets REdoLSN to the LSN of the checkpoint log record.The analysis pass continues scanning forward from the checkpoint. If it finds a log recoprd for a transactionnot in undo-list, it add transaction to undo list.

b) Redo Pass

In redo pass repeats history by replaying every action that is not already reflected in the page on disk. In this pass scans  the log forward from RedoLSN and whenever it finds an update log record, it takes this action.

c) Undo Pass

In undo pass rollback all transactions that were incomplete at the time of crash.It is straightforward. Its undoing all transactions in undo_list.The last LSN recorded  during the analysis pass is used to fund the last log record for each transaction in undo-list.

Some Important features of ARIES are:

1) Nested top action : ARISE allows logging the operations that should not be undone even if a transaction get rollback.

2)Savepoints: In ARISE algorithm transaction can recorded savepoints and can be roll back partially, up to savepoint.

3)Recovery Independence: In this some of the pages can be recovered independently from others, so that they can be sued even while other pages are being  recovered .
