Recovering from Main-Memory Lapses

Summary: Proposes a main-memory recovery approach that minimizes disk I/O by logging only redo records to disk during normal execution, with the undo log kept in memory until commit. It enables action-consistent checkpointing by persisting relevant undo-log, supports a single-pass recovery, and requires no special hardware (no NVRAM), with ideas transferable to disk-resident DBs.
