TY - CHAP U1 - Konferenzveröffentlichung A1 - Crowe, Malcolm A1 - Laux, Fritz T1 - Reconsidering optimistic algorithms for relational DBMS T2 - DBKDA 2020: The Twelfth International Conference on Advances in Databases, Knowledge, and Data Applications N2 - At DBKDA 2019, we demonstrated that StrongDBMS with simple but rigorous optimistic algorithms, provides better performance in situations of high concurrency than major commercial database management systems (DBMS). The demonstration was convincing but the reasons for its success were not fully analysed. There is a brief account of the results below. In this short contribution, we wish to discuss the reasons for the results. The analysis leads to a strong criticism of all DBMS algorithms based on locking, and based on these results, it is not fanciful to suggest that it is time to re-engineer existing DBMS.
