Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of the Serialization Graph in testing the Serializability of a schedule?

To test if a schedule is conflict serializable.

When is a schedule considered conflict serializable?

A schedule is conflict serializable if it can transform into a serial schedule after swapping nonconflicting operations.

What conditions make two operations conflicting in a schedule?

Both operations belong to separate transactions and involve the same data item.
