Concurrent transaction processing in a database system

Abstract:

The subject technology inserts, by a first transaction, a new version of an object, the inserting corresponding to a first statement from the first transaction, the first statement including information indicating a first key, a first transaction identifier, a first statement number, and a first restart count. The subject technology performs, by a second transaction, a range read, the range read including information indicating the first key. The subject technology receives, after performing the range read, a set of conflicting transactions. The subject technology determines that a conflict occurred between the first transaction and a third transaction from the set of conflicting transactions.
