Abstract
A method and apparatus for reapplying changes to a database is disclosed. A recovery log is provided for recording all changes applied to the database so that the changes may be reapplied to the database during database recovery. Whenever a change is written to a storage device, the recovery log is updated to indicate that the particular change has been written to the storage device. During recovery, the data in the recovery log is sorted by file ID, data block ID, record type and version ID.
