Chapter 19, Problem 9PE

Explanation of Solution

a.

Problem occurred when rolling back first transaction:

  • Consider the given case where another transaction takes up the space generated by the deletion of a record by an uncommitted transaction.
  • In case, if the first transaction needs to be rolled back, then
    • The record deleted by the first transaction is restored.
    • When the usual physical manner undo is performed with the old record values;
      • The space that was reallocated to the new record by the second transaction would get overwritten by this undo...

Explanation of Solution

b.

Issues:

  • When page-level locking is used, this problem will not crop up because of the following reasons:
    • The free space gener...

Explanation of Solution

c.

Solving the problem:

In order to resolve the problem using tuple-locking the following methods are followed:

  • Defer the freeing up of space until a transaction commit.
  • Here, ensure that the space will be freed even when a system fails just after the commit.
  • For this, the log records are modified for including the information about the space being freed, which should have been performed after the commit.
  • In fact, all such operations can be performed as a transaction along generating their log records, followed by the post-commit log records...

Add a method called transfer () to the BankAccount class, that takes in an amount and destinationAccount as input and transfer the funds from current account to destination account. This method should return the balance of the current account after the transfer, also should check for the sufficient balance in current account before proceeding the transfer and if there is insufficient balance return an error message "Insufficient balance". Modify the BankAccount Test class, so that it calls the transfer () method and prints the balance after transfer. Make sure that the transfer() method updates the balance of both the current account and the destination account.
• Create a public method called deposit() that takes in an amount of type double as input and adds the amount to the current balance. This method should also return the updated balance. • Create another public method called withdraw() that takes in an amount of type double as input, checks if the withdrawal amount is less than the current balance, and if so, subtracts the amount from the balance. If the withdrawal amount is greater than the current balance, the method should return an error message "Insufficient balance". • Create a public method getAccountInfo() that returns the account information in the format "Account Number: xxxxx, Account Holder: John Doe, Account Type: SAVINGS/CHECKING, Balance: $xxxX.XX". • Finally, create a constructor method that takes in the account number, account holder name, initial balance and account type as input and initializes the corresponding instance variables. In the BankAccount class, make sure to use the private access modifier for the instance…
Create a BankAccount Test class that contains a main() method that instantiates an object of type BankAccount, with account number of 12345, account holder name of "John Doe", initial balance of $1000 and account type as SAVINGS . Then use the deposit() and withdraw() methods of the object to deposit $500 and withdraw $300. Finally, use the getAccountInfo() method to print the current account information. Use the getAccountInfo() method to verify that the deposit and withdrawal actions are performed correctly and that the account information is updated accordingly.
