If you don't know that, I can take it with a fair degree of confidence that you haven't read the Oracle concepts guide.

Please do so. It's freely available at http://tahiti.oracle.com.

You're not going to get very far in Oracle if you don't know what these fairly basic fundamentals mean, and the Concepts Guide is the bare minimum of reading you should undertake immediately.

(FYI, a checkpoint is said to occur when Oracle writes to the data files and control files, updating its housekeeping information, and making sure the database is clean and consistent).
