Concurrency Control

Abstract

This chapter covers a wide range of issues relating to database concurrency control. The first section of the chapter presents the concept of a database transaction. It then examines problems that occur when multiuser databases operate without concurrency control, including lost updates, inconsistent analysis, dirty reads, nonrepeatable reads, and phantom reads. The final portion of the chapter looks at three possible solutions to concurrency control problems: classic locking, optimistic locking, and timestamping.
