Fast-Start: Quick Fault Recovery in Oracle

Summary: Fast-Start Fault Recovery in Oracle bounds crash-recovery time to meet strict availability. It adaptively tunes checkpointing to shorten roll-forward, while allowing online processing to resume with persistent locking and transparent rollback of uncommitted transactions.
