ABSTRACT
This paper describes an effective replacement for journaling to tape while updating a small CODASYL database, particularly in an online application.The journaling of before and after images of modified pages of the database is replaced with the logging of after images of modified records to a direct access file. To enable recreation of the database environment during recovery, all current database keys are logged with the record.Recovery of the database after system failure is accomplished by restoring the latest backup and reapplying all after images as recorded on the logout file.

A methodology for supporting existing CODASYL databases with new database machines
ACM '78: Proceedings of the 1978 annual conference - Volume 2In this paper, an attempt is made to show that conventional database management system software, in particular those of CODASYL type, can be effectively replaced by database machines with good performance. The replacement of CODASYL system software ...
