Database-Logging Status

Every database that the database server manages has a logging status. The logging status indicates which log-buffering mechanism the database employs. To find out the transaction-logging status of a database, use the database server utilities, as explained in Monitoring Transaction Logging. The database-logging status indicates any of the following types of logging:

All logical-log records pass through the logical-log buffer in shared memory before the database server writes them to the logical log on disk. However, the point at which the database server flushes the logical-log buffer is different for buffered transaction logging and unbuffered transaction logging. For more information, see Figure 34 and Flushing the Logical-Log Buffer.
