SQL Server - Needs Checkpoints information

Hi,

what checkpoints and how it works .......is there any need to run as a daily basis on sql server or automatically performs sql server.

As of my knowledge........checkpoint means-write all dirty pages or data pages from database to disk after modifications change in logs.

Please anyone help........

Thanks advance....

Hi,

As I know Checkpoint just writes dirty pages to disk, not at all the same thing.
Checkpoint is different and independent to commit/rollback.

This article demonstrates "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc966500.aspx" (still Ok for SQL Server 2005 etc).

• You can checkpoint and write to disk but subsequently rollback

• The BEGIN/COMMIT is nothing to do with recovery model (full, simple, bulk logged). The TXN must either complete or fail as one.

• In case of, say power failure, the data may on disk because of a CHECKPOINT but uncommitted so is rolled back as part of the database startup.
