Incremental restart [database management]

A page-based incremental restart algorithm is proposed that enables resuming transaction processing immediately after recovering from a crash. Data items are recovered individually and according to the demands of the post-crash transactions. The support that such an algorithm needs in terms of nonvolatile RAM and efficient log retrieval methods is outlined. It is discussed how to construct high-level recovery based on operation logging on top of the page-based algorithm proposed. It is argued that the unique ways stable memory is used and the structure that is imposed on the log are steps in the right direction in the anticipated evolution of recovery management
