  2. Two-phase locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_locking

    C2PL prevents deadlocks. In cases of heavy lock contention , C2PL reduces the time locks are held on average, relative to 2PL and Strict 2PL, because transactions that hold locks are never blocked. In light lock contention, C2PL holds more locks than is necessary, because it is difficult to predict which locks will be needed in the future, thus ...

  3. Wait-for graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait-For_Graph

    A wait-for graph in computer science is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.. In computer science, a system that allows concurrent operation of multiple processes and locking of resources and which does not provide mechanisms to avoid or prevent deadlock must support a mechanism to detect deadlocks and an algorithm for recovering ...

  4. Record locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_locking

    In a SQL database, a record is typically called a "row". The introduction of granular (subset) locks creates the possibility for a situation called deadlock. Deadlock is possible when incremental locking (locking one entity, then locking one or more additional entities) is used. To illustrate, if two bank customers asked two clerks to obtain ...

  5. Deadlock prevention algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_prevention_algorithms

    A couple of examples include: expanding distributed super-thread locking mechanism to consider each subset of existing locks; Wait-For-Graph (WFG) algorithms, which track all cycles that cause deadlocks (including temporary deadlocks); and heuristics algorithms which don't necessarily increase parallelism in 100% of the places that temporary ...

  6. Lock (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science)

    This subtlety can increase the chance that a programmer will unknowingly introduce a deadlock. [citation needed] In a database management system, for example, a lock could protect, in order of decreasing granularity, part of a field, a field, a record, a data page, or an entire table. Coarse granularity, such as using table locks, tends to give ...

  7. Two-phase commit protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_commit_protocol

    The sequence diagram showing the success path of Two Phase Commit protocol created with FizzBee. In transaction processing, databases, and computer networking, the two-phase commit protocol (2PC, tupac) is a type of atomic commitment protocol (ACP).

  8. Optimistic concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimistic_concurrency_control

    Mimer SQL is a DBMS that only implements optimistic concurrency control. [10] Google App Engine data store uses OCC. [11] The Apache Solr search engine supports OCC via the _version_ field. [12] The Elasticsearch search engine updates its documents via OCC. Each version of a document is assigned a sequence number, and newer versions receive ...

  9. Concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_control

    The mutual blocking between two transactions (where each one blocks the other) or more results in a deadlock, where the transactions involved are stalled and cannot reach completion. Most non-optimistic mechanisms (with blocking) are prone to deadlocks which are resolved by an intentional abort of a stalled transaction (which releases the other ...
