Let S be the following schedule of operations of three transactions T1, T2 and T3 in a relational database system:
R2(Y), R1(X), R3(Z), R1(Y), W1(X), R2(Z), W2(Y), R3(X), W3(Z)
Consider the statements P and Q below:
P: S is conflict-serializable.
Q: If T3 commits before T1 finishes, then S is recoverable.
Which one of the following choices is correct?
Let ri(z) and wi(z) denote read and write operations respectively on a data item z by a transaction Ti. 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?
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?
S = r2(X); r1(X); r2(Y); w1(X); r1(Y); w2(X); a1; a2
where ri(Z) denotes a read operation by transaction Ti on a variable Z, wi(Z) denotes a write operation by Ti on a variable Z and ai denotes an abort by transaction Ti .
Which one of the following statements about the above schedule is TRUE?
