Abstract

See full text

A method and system for database concurrency control is provided that allows lock groups to contain columns of different tables and allows an individual column of a table to be in more than one lock group. While using optimistic concurrency control for monitoring multiple transactions modifying the same database, it allows the concurrent access of a single table when the individual columns of the table are accessed by separate users or applications. This, in turn, reduces the delay of waiting for a table to be free for access and decreases the delay of rolling back transactions that are concurrently accessing a table. The reduction of these delays increases the overall data processing efficiency for the system.
