Abstract

We introduce a prewrite operation before an actual write operation is performed on database files. A prewrite operation announces the value a transaction intends to write in future. A prewrite operation does not change the state of the data object. Once all the prewrites of a transaction are announced, the transaction executes a pre-commit operation. After the pre-commit, a read transaction is permitted to read the announced prewrite values even before the other transaction has finally updated the data objects and committed. Therefore, our algorithm allows non-strict executions and increases the potential concurrency as compared to the algorithms that permit only read and write operations on the database files. In our algorithm, a user does not explicitly mention a prewrite operation but the system introduces a prewrite operation before every write. Two phase locking is used to control concurrent operations. A proof of correctness of the concurrent algorithm has also been given.
