Frequently Asked Question on Lock Based Protocol
Why do we use a lock-based protocol?
This helps to eliminate the concurrency problem by locking a certain transaction to a particular user.
Why locking is used in transaction?
Transactions use locks to control concurrent access to data.
What are the problems of lock based protocols?
- Deadlock
- Starvation
What is the time stamp protocol?
The main idea for this protocol is to order the transactions based on their Timestamps. A schedule in which the transactions participate is then serializable and the only equivalent serial schedule permitted has the transactions in the order of their Timestamp Values
Lock Based Concurrency Control Protocol in DBMS
In a database management system (DBMS), lock-based concurrency control (BCC) is used to control the access of multiple transactions to the same data item. This protocol helps to maintain data consistency and integrity across multiple users.
In the protocol, transactions gain locks on data items to control their access and prevent conflicts between concurrent transactions. This article will look deep into the Lock Based Protocol in detail.
