....may still have to wait on locks held by an update transaction, which may in turn be waiting on a different transaction, or on disk writes to the log. These waits become a serious source of unpredictability for response times. Multiversion concurrency control methods [MPL92, Had88, AS89, BG83, BC92a, IKK90, CFL 82] prevent update transactions from conflicting with read only transactions by providing the latter with a consistent but somewhat out of date view of the database. In order to provide this view, multiple versions of recently updated data items are retained. Early ....

....and replicated data algorithms, for example, maintain state information in a form that is quite different from the (single copy latest value) form used for the simple algorithms, and the appropriate interface between the scheduler and the database is also different. In later work, such as [18, 6], the interface between the scheduler and the database is changed to accomodate multi version algorithms. In effect, a different model is used to define correctness for different classes of algorithms. It seems more appropriate and useful, in not unduly restricting possible implementations, to ....

....or rolled back. Roll backs are undesirable because the re execution costs are formidable and partial effects must be obliterated to guarantee atomicity. An alternative mechanism to resolve inconsistencies is to use object reconciliation. Multi verson concurrency control in conventional databases [1] is well understood. The basic idea has been extended to object base systems [4] to enhance concurrency in the execution of multiple transactions. By allowing different transactions to access different versions of an object concurrently it is possible to achieve greater concurrency. However, as in ....

....how frequently changes are made to the source tables and the need for the reader sessions to access the latest data. Thus, the crux of the matter is to determine, 1. how to execute the reader sessions and the periodic maintenance transaction on the view concurrently without blocking each other [BG83,MPL92]. 2. how to maintain session consistency. The reader session can have more than one queries on the same view. The results of those queries should always be consistent. Suppose, an analyst wanted to find the total sales made by stores in each city. A common subsequent action for the analyst would ....

....are needed for all tuples. A general problem of the algorithms is that they only support the whole warehouse as maintenance and consistency granularity and are unable to support individual maintenance strategies. Multi version algorithms handle versioning by providing a tuple for each version [2]. Although they enable the warehouse to store as many versions as necessary, session consistency can only be guaranteed if each view is updated in an immediate manner. If individual update strategies for views or groups of views are to be applied, still session inconsistency can occur. Imagine ....

....an entire session, and . allows to maintain every materialized view in the DWH individually. With this algorithm it is possible to make a DWH available for analysis 24 hours a day. The algorithm is a multi version concurrency control algorithm, based on the multi version mixed method in [2]. The major extension of our algorithm is the possibility to generate older versions of tuples if necessary to assure session consistency. As explained above, for session consistency the same state of the MVs has to be provided for analysis during a user session. As the queries a user will submit ....

....The picture is somewhat different for distributed database CCMs where comparatively, very few performance studies have been done. There is an increasing interest in the performance of distributed database systems, in particular the use of multiple versions of data for improving concurrency [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 15, 16]. The basic idea projected in these papers is to support more than one version of a data item and to allow a transaction to access the correct version. Informally, a correct version of a data item is the version, which a transaction would have used if it would have run serially. For example, ....

....approach, T 1 would have either rolled back or blocked depending upon the underlying CCM. The multiversion approach has a number of incarnations, each proposing a different method for using a version. For example, the scheme proposed in [1, 6] maintains only one version of a data item whereas in [2, 3, 4, 5] a number of versions are maintained. The algorithms that support multiple versions of a data item guarantee that read only transactions will not be rolled back and a write write conflict will not arise. This means that read only transactions (long or short) will read the correct version of the ....

....parallelism. A locking scheme is provided to implement the idea with some unwanted side effects, e.g. a transaction may obtain the old value, for consistency reasons, even after a new committed value has been produced. More generally, there is a theory of multi version concurrency control [5], where each item is allowed to have multiple versions. This feature allows more flexibility in scheduling algorithms, one can give each read request an appropriate version, in many cases, that will preserve consistency. Our scheme is different in that we do allow access to noncommitted values, ....

....[6] appears somewhat more general, the proof is based on a 2 phase locking protocol. 1 2 SINGLE VERSION SCHEDULES 2 Many concurrency control protocols have been devised to enforce serializability, and serializability theory has been extended from single version to multi version schedules, e.g. [1]. Two phase locking (2PL) and its variants are the most commonly used protocols, due to their simplicity and efficiency, but it is widely recognized that the performance of 2PL heavily depends on the sizes of transactions. To ameliorate this problem, Shasha et al. devised a transaction chopping ....

Depending on the total number of versions maintained for each data item, most existing multiversioning schemes can be further classified into two categories: two versions and an unrestricted number of versions. Two version approaches [15, 16] reduce, but do not eliminate, data contention between ....

....locking or any interaction with other executing transactions is needed, yet the read only transaction sees a consistent database state. The read only transaction is effectively serialized to the moment when the snapshot was taken. This is one way of implementing multi version concurrency control [4, 5]; read only transactions in that context have been discussed e.g. in [2] This solves the problems of large or long duration read only transactions that are difficult to solve in conventional log based databases. Since the transaction reads from a snapshot, no synchronization is needed with other ....

....with timestamps less than t only. It is not difficult to show that any read only transaction that reads data from a consistent cache with timestamp t can be serialized immediately after all the transactions with timestamps less than t. A similar proof for a multi version database has been given in [4]. Therefore, if cache consistency can be maintained, any read only transaction from a mobile computer can read the data in the cache without issuing any lock on the server and serializability is guaranteed. As new versions of data items are created continuously by update transactions, the cache in ....

However, most of the classic mvCC algorithms implicitly assume the database accommodates an infinite number of versions for each data item [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 13, 15]. If not, a long running query may have to be aborted because some of the versions that it needs have been garbage collected prematurely. Thus, both storage overhead and version management complexity, such as version selection and garbage collection, can be a severe problem. Recently, a new class ....

If that is the case, every MV schedule that is equivalent to a serial MV schedule will be acceptable. The following serial MV schedule adapted from one in [BG83] gives a counterexample: Example 2.
