  1. Chapter 12Transaction Management • An inseparable set of SQL statements that are a logical unit of work. • Simple update of one record: • Locate the block containing the record to be updated • Bring the block into the buffer • Write the update to buffer • Write the modified block back to disk • An transactions may involve several updates. • Modified buffer block may not be written to disk immediately after transaction terminates

  2. An Transaction example for TAM’s Club START TRANSACTION SELECT customer account information (code, name, and address) INSERT sales information into invoice table INSERT into line-item table UPDATE customer’s balance UPDATE the quantity on hand On Error: ROLLBACK COMMIT

  3. ACID Properties of Transactions • Atomic • a transaction cannot be divided • Single “all or none” unit • DBMS must roll back/UNDO problematic transactions • Consistent • The database keeps a consistent state before and after a transaction • Isolated(serially) • Transactions do not interfere with each other in multi-user accessing situation • Durable • Committed transaction is permanently recorded in the database, even if the system crashes before all its writes are made to the database • Recovery subsystem must guarantee durability

  4. Protecting the Database During Transactions • Concurrency control-allows simultaneous use of the database without having users interfere with one another • Concurrency control needed when two users make updates simultaneously to the same data or one updates while another reads the same data • Potential problems due to concurrency: • Lost update problem • Uncommitted update problem • Inconsistent analysis problem • Non-repeatable read problem (Phantom data problem) • Recovery-restoring the database to a correct state after a failure

  5. Concurrency Control Techniques--Methods to Ensure Serializability • Locking • Timestamping • Concurrency control subsystem is "part of the package" and not directly controllable by either the users or the DBA • A scheduler is used to allow operations to be executed immediately, delayed, or rejected • If an operation is delayed, it can be done later by the same transaction.

  6. Locks • Transaction can ask DBMS to place locks on data items in the DB, preventing another transaction from modifying the object, implemented by inserting a flag in the object • Lock Mode • Shared: sufficient for read-only access • Exclusive: necessary for write access • Locking granularity: The size of objects can be locked (DB, table, page, record, data item). • Deadlock: two or more transactions wait for locks being held by each another • Two-phase locking (icing example in winter) • Growing phase (freezing) • Shrinking phase (melting) • Optimistic/pessimistic approaches

  7. Timestamping • Each transaction has a timestamp • Timestamp could be clock reading or logical counter • Each data item has • a Read-Timestamp-timestamp of last transaction that readthe item • a Write-Timestamp-timestamp of last transaction that wrote the item • Problems • Transaction tries to read an item already updated by a younger transaction (late read) • Transaction tries to write an item already updated by a later transaction (late write) • Protocol takes care of these problems by rolling back transactions that cannot execute correctly

  8. Recovery • DBMS subsystem responsible for ensuring atomicity and durability for transactions in the event of failure • Recovery manager ensures that all the effects of committed transactions reach the database, and that the effects of any uncommitted transactions are undone • Recovery Techniques • Two Approaches • log-based recovery • Deferred update • Immediate update • shadow-paging

  9. Deferred Update • DBMS does all database writes in the log, not write to the database until the transaction is ready to commit • Uses the log to protect against system failures : • When transaction starts, write a record <T starts> to the log • When a write is performed in a log record of the form <T,X, n>, not update to the database buffers or the database itself. • When a transaction is about to commit, write a log record of the form <T commits>, write all the log records for the transaction to disk, and then commit the transaction. • If the transaction aborts, simply ignore the log records. • Called a redo/no undo method since we redo committed transactions and don’t undo anything

  10. Checkpoints • After a failure, we may not know how far back in the log to search for redo of transactions • Can limit log searching using checkpoints • Scheduled at predetermined intervals • Checkpoint operations • Write modified blocks in the database buffers to disk • Write a checkpoint record to the log-contains the names of all transactions that are active at the time of the checkpoint • Write all log records now in main memory out to disk

  11. Immediate Update • Updates are applied to the database buffers as they occur and written to the database itself when convenient • A log record is written first, since this is a write-ahead log protocol • Protocol • When a transaction starts, write a record of the form <T starts> to the log • When a write operation is performed, write a log record with the name of the transaction, the field name, the old value, and the new value of the field. This has the form <T,X,o,n> • After writing log record, write the update to the database buffers • When convenient, write the log records to disk and then write updates to the database itself • When the transaction commits, write a record of the form <T commits> to the log

  12. Isolation Levels • Isolation is a property that the changes made by an operation are not visible to other simultaneous operations on the system until its completion. • The isolation levels defined by the ANSI/ISOSQL standard are: • SERIALIZABLE • REPEATABLE READ • READ COMMITTED • READ UNCOMMITTED • Phantom Reads: occurs when, in the course of a transaction, two identical queries are executed, and the collection of rows returned by the second query is different from the first. This can occur when range locks are not acquired on performing a SELECT. • Dirty Reads: occurs when a transaction reads data from a row that has been modified by another transaction, but not yet committed.

  13. Summary of Isolation Level and their effects

  14. Issues in Transaction Design • Duration – Minimize the duration of the transaction • Constraint checking -- Do not compromise constraint checking by splitting the transaction into smaller transactions to enforce the checking constraint. • Avoid user interaction time • Avoid too strict concurrency control • Timing of Integrity Constraint Enforcement • Save Point – to allow partial rollback of a transaction.

  15. Oracle Concurrency Control • Several types of locks available, including both DML and DDL locks • DDL locks are applied at the table level • DML locks are at the row-level • Uses a deadlock detection scheme, and rolls back one of the transactions if needed • Provides two isolation levels, degrees of protection from other transactions • Read committed: default level-guarantees that each statement in a transaction reads only data committed before the statement started. Since data may be changed during the transaction, there may be non-repeatable reads and phantom data. • Serializable: gives transaction-level consistency-ensures that a transaction sees only data committed before the transaction started

  16. Oracle Isolation Levels •   Setting Oracle Isolation Level • Setting at Transaction Level: SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ ONLY; • Setting at Session Level: ALTER SESSION SET ISOLATION_LEVEL READ COMMITTED; ALTER SESSION SET ISOLATION_LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; ALTET SESSION SET ISOLATION_LEVEL READ ONLY;
