Program Plan Intro

Pessimistic locking:

It is one of the locking methods in concurrency control. The lock exists in the transaction until the transaction gets committed or rolled back.

Two-phase locking protocol:

It defined the serializability of the transaction but not prevent deadlocks. The process of locking and unlocking can be done using two phases in this protocol. They are: Growing phase and shrinking phase.

Growing phase:

New lock can be occurred on the transaction without unlocking the data items. The data items are locked in this phase.

Shrinking phase:

This phase used to release all transaction but not provide new lock on the transaction.

Row-level lock granularity:

This row-level locking process used to lock the single row in the table. It is used to improve the availability of data and involving in transaction conflict.

Explain the phenomena of phantoms. Why is it possible that this occurrence, despite the usage of the two-phase locking scheme, leads to improper concurrent execution?
What does it mean for a database to be in a stable state? While the database management system may give a symbolic meaning for a transaction, there is no assurance that it faithfully captures the underlying real-world event. What consequences may be expected if this ban were implemented? Explain your point using an illustration. Should we take at face value the apparent meaning of the phrase "serializable transactions"?
Suppose the deferred modification technique is used in a database. a. Is the old-value part of an update log record required any more? Why or why not? b. If old values are not stored in update log records, transaction undo. Is clearly not feasible. How would the redo-phase of recovery have to be modified as a result? C. Deferred modification can be implemented by keeping updated data items in local memory of transactions, and reading data items that have not been updated directly from the database buffer. Suggest how to efficiently implement a data item read, ensuring that a trans action sees its own updates.
