Inconsistent retrieval (is locking enough CC? NO!) ________ - |ACCOUNTS| _____ - ' | | |AUDIT| >___' | ____ |CHECKING| |Ch__ |.|.( )-|100 | | | |Sav__| |.' | |____| | | |Tot__| (| / `. | | ^ /_____`. |SAVINGS | | | L L |________| L L CHECKING SAVINGS T1 write_locks checking XLOCK T1 (transfer) T2 (audit) < Xlock 800 T2 reads SAVINGS, then release Slock-> T2 read_locks savings > 400 T1 writes, then releases Xlock on CHECKING 400 T2 Slocks CHECKING, reads then then releases Slock-> = 1200 T1 write_locks savings < Xlock > 900 Xlock released > > 900

SOLUTION? 2-Phase Locking (2PL) Each transaction must acquire all its locks before releasing any of its locks ________ - |ACCOUNTS| _____ - ' | | |AUDIT| >___' | ____ |CHECKING| |Ch__ |.|.( )-|100 | | | |Sav__| |.' | |____| | | |Tot__| (| / `. | | ^ /_____`. |SAVINGS | | | L L |________| L L CHECKING SAVINGS T1 write_locks checking T1 (transfer) T2 (audit) < Xlock 800 Slock - - > T2 read_locks savings > 400 hold Xlock 400 T2 unable to Slock Checking!! 4. T1 unable to Xlock savings DEADLOCK!!!

Is 2PL enough? NO. Uncommited Dependency or Cascading Abort Problem Tammy deposits 500, Jimmy deposits 1000, Tammy's transaction aborts, after Jimmy's commits. Note: In order it accommodate transaction "abort" or "rollback", must use Write-Ahead Logging (WAL): A changed database item cannot be written to the database disk until the "before value" (the value before the change took place) has been "logged" to secure storage (the system log - on a separate disk). Then to rollback a transaction, simply restore all the before values for every item written by that transaction (by searching the log for those before values).

Uncommitted Retrieval (or Cascading Rollback) - | o o ` ~ ' ` - ' | ____ _____ |.( )---|$500| |$1000|-----|-..' | |____| |_____| ( ) `. / `. ^ /____\ | | L L JOINT L L ACCOUNT T1 (dep $500) BALANCE T2 (dep $1000 workspace of T1 ON DISK workspace of T2 $3500 < $3500 T2 commits. 4. $ $2000 <- - $ add 500: $ > $2500 $ > $ (T1 Unlocks account, then T1 swapped out) 5. T1 aborts (terminal gets hung?) before value, $2000 -> $2000
