Even the UNDO records get written to the redo logs, isn't it?

Dennis,

He asked about 'undo'. That is in the rollback segments, or the UNDO tablespace.

Yes. Remember that Oracle doesn't wait for a commit before it writes redo. It is even possible for uncommitted data to get written to the data files. This is a real performance boost on a busy system. In case of a crash, Oracle must be able to recreate the "before" image of the data.

   If you become more interested in this, take a look at LogMiner. Once you
see all the details in a redo log, you'll be much more impressed with Oracle's integrity and throughput! And a good time to practice with LogMiner
is when you aren't under pressure.

Dennis , so what you are trying to say is that the redo logs store undo data
also ?
