RE: Common Oracle RDBMS Misconceptions

Yep, that's the way it works. Whoever started the rumor that the datafiles were unwriteable hadn't looked into the process deeply enough to understand it. The Oracle Ed. class that I took for backup and recovery explained the process exactly as it is, using the checkpoint, redo, and rollbacks but still writing to files.
