Concurrency control in real-time database

Concurrency control in real-time database, How concurrency control is achieved in a real-time database? Pessimistic and Optimistic concurrency control mechanism, Explain concurrency control in real-time database 


Concurrency Control in Real-Time Database


A database transaction normally involves one or more data items to be accessed in read mode or write mode. A transaction is said to be successfully completed if and only if,

  • It is able to use all the required data items,
  • Make necessary changes to the data items (if any) consistently, and
  • Store the changes permanently in the permanent storage.

In this process, a transaction may consume considerable time depends on the size of a transaction, the number of data items needed, the availability of CPU, etc. In a conventional database, to increase the number of transactions that is completed in a given time, we need to execute several transactions simultaneously. Here we need to ensure ACID properties for individual transactions. Execution of all active transactions concurrently is referred as concurrent transactions.

Concurrency control is about ensuring non-interference among transactions by restricting concurrent transactions to be serializable. A concurrent execution of a set of transactions is said to be serializable if and only if the database operations carried out by them is equivalent to some serial execution of these transactions.

Concurrency control protocols usually adopt any of the following types of approaches; concurrency control mechanisms used in a conventional database may not fit for real-time database. Hence, the modified versions of these protocols according to the real-time requirements of a database are presented below;


  • Speculative Concurrency Control Protocols 
    • Achieving concurrency control by applying the combination of both pessimistic and optimistic protocols on a transaction. CLICK to continue.
  • Multi-version Concurrency Control Protocols
