Let r_i(z) and w_i(z) denote read and write operations respectively on a data item z by a transaction T_i. Consider the following two schedules.

S₁ : r₁(x) r₁(y) r₂(x) r₂(y) w₂(y) w₁(x)

S₂ : r1(x) r₂(x) r2(y) w2(y) r₁(y) w1(x)

Which one of the following options is correct?

Consider a schedule of transactions T₁ and T₂ :
Here, RX stands for “Read(X)” and WX stands for “Write(X)”. Which one of the following schedules is conflict equivalent to the above schedule?

Consider the following database schedule with two transactions, T₁ and T₂

 S = r2(X); r1(X); r2(Y); w1(X); r1(Y); w2(X); a1; a2

where r_i(Z) denotes a read operation by transaction T_i on a variable Z, w_i(Z) denotes a write operation by T_i on a variable Z and a_i denotes an abort by transaction T_i .

Which one of the following statements about the above schedule is TRUE?

Consider the following two phase locking protocol. Suppose a transaction $$T$$ accesses (for read or write operations), a certain set of objects $$\left\{ {{O_1},...,{O_k}} \right\}.$$ This is done in the following manner:

Step 1. T acquires exclusive locks to $${{O_1},...,{O_k}}$$ in increasing order of their
addresses.
Step 2. The required operations are performed.
Step 3. All locks are released.

This protocol will
