Hi,
I have started preparation with oracle architecture.
I have a doubt..

when the user says commit after modifying the data, the database crashes suddenly. Is the data saved?How oracle engine recovers the data. How a dba knows what data is modified??

Thanks,
Suma

If the COMMIT completed, the changed data will exist after the DB is restarted.
If the COMMIT did not complete, then the changed data will be rolled back after the restart.

I agree with Ana if you want to undertand how Oracle works you have to read Database Concepts.
All the questions about Oracle architecture, how it works, how it is built, what are the objects and so on are answered there.

Michel
