Abstract
We present a recovery strategy supporting partial rollbacks of transactions and object-granularity locking, called WALORS (WAL-based andObject-orientedRecoveryStrategy). As the name suggests, WALORS uses the principle of Write-Ahead Logging (WAL). In contrast to other strategies, WALORS stores a Log Sequence Number (LSN) in every object of the database (DB) to correlate the state of the object with logged updates to the object. Due to this feature, WALORS does not need to employ a repeating history (redo all) paradigm. Instead, it supports selective undo as well as selective redo passes. To avoid the problems of supporting fine-granularity locking in the context of WAL, WALORS employs special control structures which enable it not having to write compensation log records (CLRs) from CLRs and guaranteeing its idempotence even in the face of repeated failures or of nested rollbacks. WALORS does operation logging of all updates, including the ones performed during rollbacks, works with fuzzy checkpoints, supports media recovery, and is flexible enough w.r.t. the kinds of buffer management policies being implemented.
