Jump to: navigation, search

CKPT (Oracle Checkpoint Process) is the Oracle background process that timestamps all datafiles and control files to indicate that a checkpoint has occurred.

The "DBWR checkpoints" statistic (v$sysstat) indicates the number of checkpoint requests completed.

History

The ckeckpoint process was optional in Oracle 7 (set CHECKPOINT_PROCESS=TRUE). Starting with Oracle 8i, the checkpoint process is automatically started with the other Oracle instance processes.
