Hello Folks,
I'm somehow a little bit confused.. !
How can I understand and retain once for ever the concept and meaning of the CHECKPOINT ?
Thank so much for any help :)

CHECKPOINT MEANS

LGWR tells DBWR to write all dirty data blocks from buffer cache to disk.

When one redo log file fills over it starts writing to another redo log file , that time it generates a log sequence number and invokes checkpoint.

CHECKPOINT:

is a synchronization process of the buffer cache with the data files. The Checkpoint process(CKPT) updates all data file headers and control files whenenever checkpoint occurs and simultaneously it signals LGWR and DBWR to write the redo entries and dirty buffer to disk respectively. The CKPT writes the Checkpoint SCN value to all the datafile headers that are involved in a checkpoint.

regards

Vivek.
