Oracle8i Master Index: D press on DI Looking for dirty buffers found link dirty buffer (Concepts) and here is an excerpt: The buffers in the cache are organized in two lists: the write list and the least recently used (LRU) list. The write list holds dirty buffers, which contain data that has been modified but has not yet been written to disk. The least recently used (LRU) list holds free buffers, pinned buffers, and dirty buffers that have not yet been moved to the write list. Free buffers do not contain any useful data and are available for use. Pinned buffers are currently being accessed.

I would appreciate if someone could kindly clear my confusion. What is meant by dirty data buffers? If these are dirty (not good/healthy) why to write to these to data files? TIA!
