Dual-Buffering Strategies in Object Bases

Summary: Dual-buffering in object bases combines segment-specific buffer pool management with copying objects from memory pages into separate object buffers. The study analyzes copying time and relocation time along eager vs lazy strategies, concluding lazy copying with eager relocation nearly always outperforms page-based buffering across applications.
