Locking Performance in Centralized Databases

Perspectives in Computing: Locking Performance in Centralized Databases reports some results from a project whose aim was the development of a performance model for concurrency control algorithms. This book proposes a model that is powerful enough to help users understand, compare, and control the performance of the algorithms. Organized into four chapters, this book begins with an overview of the model in its simplest form. This text then explains locking, which uses a combination of blocking a
