Best book for Transaction Manangement & Concurrency Control
24 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
The Concurrency Control and Recovery in Database Systems, by Bernstein, Hadzilacos and Goodman is the jewel for the Theory of Transaction Management and Concurrency Control in Database Systems. Despite of the fact that it is out of print (the last edition going back to 1987), it is still consider up to date and the best source for important aspects of the implementation of the transaction manager of a DBMS such as: - Transaction design -- query formulation, isolation, degree desired, and transaction length - Serializabilty -- criterion for serializability, serialization graph, serialization order - Atomicity -- avoiding dirty reads, repeatable reads, phantom reads - Concurrency control -- two phase locking, resource & data contention, thrashing, detect deadlocks, intention locks, deadlock avoidance protocols, other concurrency control mechanisms - Recovery -- tolerating failures and guaranteeing atomicity, quantitative conclusions
Again, I would recommend this textbook to anyone who interests in the theory of Database Systems in general and at the Theory of Transaction Management in particular.
Regards, Prof. Sarbanes C U N Y Queens College
P.S. : I am looking for adopting this book for my database course for the Fall 2000, but I can NOT find this text book easily. Any help for this matter, would be greatly appreciated.

The seminal text on concurrency control
9 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is outstanding. It is THE text to have for a study and understanding of database concurrency control algorithms and the concepts of concurrency control. In my work and writings, I always refer to this text and its precisely-defined properties for proper concurrency control (recoverable (RC), avoidance of cascading aborts (ACA), serializable (SR), and strict (ST)) in lieu of the more-often-cited but less precise "ACID" criteria.
