This work presents a disconnected transaction model able to cope with the increased complexity of longliving, hierarchically structured, and disconnected transactions. Wecombine an Open and Closed Nested Transaction Model with Optimistic Concurrency Control and interrelate flat transactions with the aforementioned complex nature. Despite temporary inconsistencies during a transaction’s execution our model ensures consistency.
This paper presents a concurrency control mechanism that does not follow a ‘one concurrency control mechanism fits all needs’ strategy. With the presented mechanism a transaction runs under several concurrency control mechanisms and the appropriate one is chosen based on the accessed data. For this purpose, the data is divided into four classes based on its access type and usage (semantics). Class O (the optimistic class) implements a first-committer-wins strategy, class R (the reconciliation class) implements a first-n-committers-win strategy, class P (the pessimistic class) implements a first reader-wins strategy, and class E (the escrow class) implements a firsnreaderswin strategy. Accordingly, the model is called OjRjPjE. Under this model the TPC-C benchmark outperforms other CC mechanisms like optimistic Snapshot Isolation.
