Abstract
This chapter studies two components of the database engine: the log manager and the buffer manager. Each of these components is responsible for certain files: The log manager is responsible for the log file, and the buffer manager is responsible for the data files. Both components face the problem of how to efficiently manage the reading and writing of disk blocks with main memory. This chapter examines their memory needs and the memory-management algorithms they use.
