  2. Two-phase locking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-phase_locking

    In databases and transaction processing, two-phase locking (2PL) is a pessimistic concurrency control method that guarantees conflict-serializability. [1] [2] It is also the name of the resulting set of database transaction schedules (histories).

  3. 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 ...

  4. Deadlock prevention algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlock_prevention_algorithms

    Some examples include: lock hierarchies, [1] lock reference-counting and preemption (either using versioning or allowing data corruption when preemption occurs); 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  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. 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 ...

  8. 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).

  9. Durability (database systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durability_(database_systems)

    For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked even if the system crashes. [2] Formally, a database system ensures the durability property if it tolerates three types of failures: transaction, system, and media failures. [1]
