Oracle

SMON process performs instance recovery by rolling forward and applying changes in the redo log to synchronize data files. During a checkpoint, Oracle flushes dirty blocks from the database buffer cache to disk. SMON does not write to the online redo log files. A transaction is not considered committed until the log writer (LGWR) successfully writes the changes to the redo log.
