| Question 5 |
Consider the following two statements about database transaction schedules:
I. Strict two-phase locking protocol generates conflict serializable schedules that are also recoverable.
II. Timestamp-ordering concurrency control protocol with Thomas Write Rule can generate view serializable schedules that are not conflict serializable.
Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?
I. Strict two-phase locking protocol generates conflict serializable schedules that are also recoverable.
II. Timestamp-ordering concurrency control protocol with Thomas Write Rule can generate view serializable schedules that are not conflict serializable.
Which of the above statements is/are TRUE?
| Both I and II | |
| Neither I nor II | |
| II only | |
| I only |
Question 5 Explanation:
(Memory-based question)
In strict 2PL, a transaction T does not release any of its exclusive (write) locks until after it commits or aborts.
Hence, no other transaction can read or write an item that is written by T unless T has committed, leading to a strict schedule for recoverability.
(Ref: Fundamentals of Database Systems by Elmasri and Navathe, 7e Pg. No. 789)
By ignoring the write, Thomas write rule allows schedules that are not conflict serializable but are nevertheless correct.
Those non-conflict-serializable schedules allowed satisfy the definition of view serializable schedules.
