About this Item

Print on Demand. This book presents a novel approach to transaction processing within a distributed database management system, offering a flexible solution for data concurrency control and recovery. The proposed scheme empowers participating sites to operate autonomously, relaxing time constraints imposed by conventional transaction processing methods. It also enables high replication levels with minimal performance impact, providing greater reliability and support for read-only transactions. The author explores key issues connected with message-oriented transaction processing, including the management of message queues, the handling of site failures, and the implementation of a transaction processing system based on the concepts of queued transactions and message-based activities. This book provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking a comprehensive understanding of distributed database management systems and transaction processing techniques. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Implementing Message Oriented Transaction Processing for Distributed Database Management Systems: May 1989

Each transaction that updates objects in a database transforms the database to a new state. The system state includes assertions about values of records and about the allowed transformations of the values. Transactions obey the assertions (laws of consistency constraints) by transforming consistent states into new consistent states.

Gray [gray81] points out a few desirable features of transaction processing systems that are not currently supported by such systems. He recommends the use of techniques such as time-domain addressing and also keeping a log of transaction processing activities (also see Recently, Gray [gray86] has suggested the idea of queued transaction processing (message oriented transaction processing) for decoupling the processing of the transaction from its submission and from the delivery of the response.
