Abstract

The management of multidatabase transactions presents new and interesting challenges, due mainly to the requirement of the autonomy of local database systems. In this paper, we present an extended transaction model which provides the following features useful in a multidatabase environment: (1) It allows the composition of flexible transactions which can tolerate failures of individual subtransactions by taking advantage of the fact that a given function can frequently be accomplished by more than one databse system; (2) It supports theconcept of mixed transactions allowing compensatable and non- compensatable subtransactions to coexist within a single global transaction; and (3) Itincorporates the concept of time in both the subtransaction and global transaction processing, thus allowing more flexibility in transaction scheduling. We formally define the extended transaction model and discuss its transaction scheduling mechanism.
