Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: what is meant by dirty buffers
completely wrong. that's not a case in oracle.
> i am not too sure but i think dirty means that the data that is written to
> the data files mite also be obsolete. This means that the data has already
> been deleted from the database yet it is written into the file. This is
> similar to what people call a dirty read in informix cursors where the
data
> displayed through a cursor does not synchronize with the values in the
> database instead it loads from the memory.
>
> Hope this helps.
