Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 3RQ
Explanation of Solution
Explanation of given scenario:
- The DBMS (
Database management systems) is an application used to implement database commands given by the user. - The DBMS application checks the commands are syntactically correct or not and then execute the query in logical manner.
- Hence, the DBMS command not gives the guarantee that the semantic meaning of transaction truly represents the real-world event.
Possible consequences of limitation:
- DBMS cannot guarantee for transaction represents in real-world event...

What is a stable database state, and how is it achieved?The DBMS gives no guarantee that the symbolic notion of the transaction appropriately matches the underlying real-world event.What are the possible consequences of the restriction? Please provide an example. What exactly is meant by "serializable transactions"?
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"?
An answer to this question: What does it mean to have a stable database state? There is no guarantee that the transaction's symbolic meaning accurately represents the underlying real-world event provided by the database management system. What would be the ramifications of such a prohibition? Using a specific example, explain what you mean. Does the term "serializable transactions" really mean what it appears to?
