Re: Who Write Undo Information From The DbCache To The Physically UndoDatafile.

Hey , Got Confusion ,
I Came Across An Article At This Site "
http://distancelearning.ksi.edu/demo/333/cis333.htm"

Its States :
Rollback Segments When you issue a DML statement to change data, the server process first saves the old values in a rollback segment.

Sever Process....This Happening From The Buffer To The Datafile Or Rollback Segments.

How Can U Justifiy This..

Do U Think Any One Can Ask The OTN Guys About It.

Thank You.
Sheldon.
