Transactions are a concept related to the logical database as seen
from the perspective of database application programmers: a
transaction is a sequence of database actions that is to be
executed as an atomic unit of work. The processing of transactions
on databases is a well- established area with many of its
foundations having already been laid in the late 1970s and early
1980s. The unique feature of this textbook is that it bridges the
gap between the theory of transactions on the logical database and
the implementation of the related actions on the underlying
physical database. The authors relate the logical database, which
is composed of a dynamically changing set of data items with unique
keys, and the underlying physical database with a set of fixed-size
data and index pages on disk. Their treatment of transaction
processing builds on the "do-redo-undo" recovery paradigm, and all
methods and algorithms presented are carefully designed to be
compatible with this paradigm as well as with write-ahead logging,
steal-and-no-force buffering, and fine-grained concurrency control.
Chapters 1 to 6 address the basics needed to fully appreciate
transaction processing on a centralized database system within the
context of our transaction model, covering topics like ACID
properties, database integrity, buffering, rollbacks, isolation,
and the interplay of logical locks and physical latches. Chapters 7
and 8 present advanced features including deadlock-free algorithms
for reading, inserting and deleting tuples, while the remaining
chapters cover additional advanced topics extending on the
preceding foundational chapters, including multi-granular locking,
bulk actions, versioning, distributed updates, and write-intensive
transactions. This book is primarily intended as a text for
advanced undergraduate or graduate courses on database management
in general or transaction processing in particular.
