a question about the checkpoint operation
i heard some ppl say that sql writes down the dirty pages directly to disk, but isnt it just the changes which are written down? the pages themselves still have to stay in memory dont they

The pages aren't moved from memory to disk, (there's a page on disk and a copy of that page in memory), but checkpoint writes at a page level, not the individual change level, so if 2 bytes on a page have been changed, that entire page is written back to the data file.
