What are the functions of SMON?

Answer Posted / r.karthikeyan

The System Monitor (SMON) background process performs instance recovery, coalesces adjacent areas of free space in the datafiles, and deallocates temporary segments to return them as free space in the data files. When instance recovery is required, SMON rolls forward changes in the redo logs, opens the database for user access, and rolls back uncommitted transactions.
