Abstract

Most database systems ensure the consistency of the data by means of a concurrency control scheme that uses a polynomial time on-line scheduler. Papadimirrlou and Kanellakis have shown that for the most general multiversion database model no such effective scheduler exists. In this paper we focus our attention on an efficient multiversion database model and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for ensuring serializability and serializability without the use of transaction rollback for this model.It is shown that both these classes yield additional concurrency through the use of multiple versions. This characterization is used to derive the first general multiversion protocol which does not use transaction rollback as a means for ensuring serializability.
