我们在学习Oracle基础知识的时候会了解到实例恢复(Instance Recovery)或者说崩溃恢复(Crash recovery)的概念，有时候甚至于这2个名词在我们日常的语言中表达同样的意思。实际上Instance Recovery与Crash Recovery是存在区别的：针对单实例(single instance)或者RAC中所有节点全部崩溃后的恢复，我们称之为Crash Recovery。而对于RAC中的某一个节点失败，存活节点(surviving instance)试图对失败节点线程上redo做应用的情况，我们称之为Instance Recovery。
不管是Instance Recovery还是Crash Recovery，都由2个部分组成：cache recovery继以transaction recovery。
根据官方文档的介绍，Cache Recovery也叫Rolling Forward，就是我们常说的前滚；而Transaction Recovery也叫Rolling Back，就是我们常说的回滚。前滚和回滚贯穿Oracle恢复的基本概念，是我们入门必要学习的知识，在次不多介绍。
有文事者，必济之以武略。理论学得再好，不实践也无用。所幸Crash Recovery是很容易做成的实验，我们不妨来看一看:

Crash Recovery将从alter database open开始，我们来观察其日志

注意上述单实例Crash Recovery到数据库打开的整个过程:
alter database open
Beginning crash recovery of 1 threads
Started redo scan
Completed redo scan
Started redo application at
Completed redo application
Completed crash recovery at
SMON: enabling cache recovery
Successfully onlined Undo Tablespace 1
SMON: enabling tx recovery
Completed: alter database open
从上述步骤中我们可以看到三种恢复名词，即：
crash recovery
cache recovery
tx recovery
这和官方文档所描述的Crash Recovery概念是不一致的，，我们现在来理清这几种recovery。
crash recovery包含对redo的scan和application，显然其完成的是Rolling Forward前滚的工作，告警日志中出现的crash recovery等同于官方文档中介绍的”cache recovery”，我们可以将” Completed crash recovery”看做前滚完成的标志。而tx recovery从字面就可以看出实际上是Transaction Recovery，tx recovery发生在Undo Tablespace online之后(回滚事务的前提是Undo可用)，数据完成打开操作之前(“Completed: alter database open”)。注意tx recovery并不要求数据库打开前完成，仅仅是在数据库打开之前由smon启动(“SMON: enabling tx recovery”)。
剩下的唯一的问题是，这里的cache recovery是什么？显然它不是官方文档中所描述的”cache recovery”，几乎没有任何文档介绍存在这样一个recovery操作，这也是本文重点要介绍的。
我们来看另一个演示，这个演示用以说明cache recovery还存在于最普通的不包含Crash Recovery的数据库打开过程中:

因为是clean shutdown，所以这里不存在crash recovery。但这里同样出现了”SMON: enabling cache recovery”，可见cache recovery是每次实例启动instance startup必要执行的一种恢复操作。但问题是，这个恢复操作到底针对何种对象？
