Log-Based Recovery for Nested Transactions

Summary: Proposes a log-based recovery scheme for nested transactions using undo/redo logs, instead of shadow-page approaches. Shows that only a small set of extensions to single-level recovery suffices for nested contexts, offering efficient rollback/crash recovery. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
