Solution – part 1 transactions request locks (or
upgrades) lock manager grants or blocks
requests transactions release locks lock manager updates lock-table
Solution – part 1 A transaction is granted a lock on an item if the
requested lock is compatible with locks already held on the item
Any number of transactions can hold shared locks on an item
If any transaction holds an exclusive on the item no other transaction may hold any lock on the item
If a lock cannot be granted, the requesting transaction is made to wait till all incompatible locks held by other transactions have been released

Solution??
General solution: Protocol(s)
A locking protocol is a set of rules followed by all transactions while requesting and releasing locks. Locking protocols restrict the set of possible schedules.
Most popular protocol: 2 Phase Locking (2PL)
2PL (2 Phase Locking )
Phase 1: Growing Phase transaction may obtain locks transaction may not release locks
Phase 2: Shrinking Phase transaction may release locks transaction may not obtain locks
The protocol assures serializability The transactions can be serialized in the order of their
lock points (i.e. the point where a transaction acquired its final lock)
2PL
X-lock version: transactions issue no lock requests, after the first ‘unlock’
THEOREM: if all transactions obey 2PL all schedules are serializable
2PL – X/S lock version
transactions issue no lock/upgrade request, after the first unlock/downgrade
In general: ‘growing’ and ‘shrinking’ phase
2PL – observations- limits concurrency- may lead to deadlocks- 2PLC (keep locks until ‘commit’)
strict two-phase locking. Here a transaction must hold all its exclusive locks till it commits/aborts.
Rigorous two-phase locking is even stricter: here all locks are held till commit/abort.

automatically? concurrency control locks + protocols
2PL, 2PLC graph protocols multiple granularity locks
<cc without locks: optimistic cc>
Other protocols than 2-PL – graph-based
- Assumption: we have prior knowledge about the order in which data items will be accessed
- (hierarchical) ordering on the data items, like, e.g., pages of a B-tree
A
B C
Other protocols than 2-PL – graph-based
Graph-based protocols are an alternative to 2PL
Impose a partial ordering on the set D = {d1, d2 ,..., dh} of all data items If di dj then any transaction accessing both di and
dj must access di before accessing dj. Implies that the set D may now be viewed as a
directed acyclic graph, called a database graph. The tree-protocol is a simple kind of graph
protocol
E.g., tree protocol (X-lock version)- an xact can request any item, on
its first lock request- from then on, it can only request
items for which it holds the parent lock
- it can release locks at any time- it can NOT request an item twice

Tree protocol The tree protocol ensures conflict serializability and no
deadlocks Unlocking may occur earlier in the tree-locking protocol
than in the two-phase locking protocol shorter waiting times, increase in concurrency protocol is deadlock-free, no rollbacks are required the abort of a transaction can still lead to cascading rollbacks
However, in the tree-locking protocol, a transaction may have to lock data items that it does not access
increased locking overhead, and additional waiting time potential decrease in concurrency
Schedules not possible under two-phase locking are possible under tree protocol, and vice versa
More protocols- lock granularity – field? record? page?
table?- Pros and cons?- (Ideally, each transaction should
obtain a few locks)
Multiple granularity
Allows data items to be of various sizes Defines a hierarchy of data granularities Can be represented graphically as a tree (but don't
confuse with tree-locking protocol) When a transaction locks a node in the tree explicitly, it
implicitly locks all the node's descendents in the same mode
Locking granularity (level in tree where locking is done): fine granularity (lower in tree)
high concurrency, high locking overhead coarse granularity (higher in tree)
low locking overhead, low concurrency
What types of locks? X/S locks for leaf level + ‘intent’ locks, for higher levels IS: intent to obtain S-lock underneath IX: intent to obtain X-lock underneath S: shared lock for this level X: ex- lock for this level SIX: shared lock here; + IX
Protocol- each xact obtains appropriate lock
at highest level- proceeds to desirable lower levels- intention locks allow a higher level
node to be locked in S or X mode without having to check all descendent nodes.
Protocol
Transaction Ti can lock a node Q, using the following rules:
1. The lock compatibility matrix must be observed. 2. The root of the tree must be locked first, and may be locked in any mode. 3. A node Q can be locked by Ti in S or IS mode only if the parent of
Q is currently locked by Ti in either IX or IS mode.
4. A node Q can be locked by Ti in X, SIX, or IX mode only if the parent of Q is currently locked by Ti in either IX or SIX mode. 5. Ti can lock a node only if it has not previously unlocked any node (that is, Ti is two-phase). 6. Ti can unlock a node Q only if none of the children of Q are currently locked by Ti. Observe that locks are acquired in root-to-leaf order,
whereas they are released in leaf-to-root order.
