Study Notes

Concurrency Control in DBMS

Concurrency Control is a DBMS mechanism that handles simultaneous access to the database by multiple transactions, ensuring database consistency and integrity.

Concurrency Issues

Lost Update: occurs when two or more transactions update the same data item, and one transaction overwrites the changes made by the others, causing data inconsistency.
Uncommitted Data: refers to the data modified by a transaction that has not yet been committed, which may be accessed by other transactions, leading to inconsistencies.
Inconsistent Retrieval: occurs when a transaction retrieves inconsistent data due to concurrent updates by other transactions.

Primary Function of Concurrency Control

The primary function of Concurrency Control is to ensure that database transactions are executed reliably, maintaining data consistency and integrity, and preventing concurrency issues.
