What is Buffer Manager?
The buffer manager in a DBMS is responsible for allocating buffer space in the main memory so that temporary data can be stored there. If the user requests some data and the data block is in memory, the server does not send the block address. The library is not in the main memory. It is also responsible for allocating the data block to the database buffer if the data block is not found in the database buffer. If no input fields are entered into the buffer, it deletes some old blocks of buffered data to make room for new data. If the data block is removed soon, the changes will be copied/written to disk storage, otherwise, they will just be buffered from the file. If the user requests the deletion of one of these files, the administrator will not copy/read existing block data from disk storage into the file buffer and will not send the request return from a location in the main memory. These programs will deal with requests coming from the disk, and since they act as a virtual machine in the system, the administrator cannot see the data that they are not working on.

What is Buffer Manager?
Buffer Management in DBMS is used to allocate the space in the main memory so that the user can access data from the main memory immediately. In this article, we will learn about buffer managers in DBMS. We will also understand the methods that are used by buffer managers.
