Redo log switch always invokes checkpoint?

inkitmApr 16 2014 — edited Apr 20 2014

Hello

Does a redo log switch always invokes checkpoint process?

I have a test database on which nothing is running, but when i switch the redo log file, then it takes a while to make the status of redo log file from ACTIVE to INACTIVE.

But when i do alter system checkpoint; , the status changes immediately from ACTIVE to INACTIVE.

This gives me a feeling that on redo log switch, its not mandatory for checkpoint to happen.

DB version is 11.2.0.1

Kindly comment.
