Isolation Error Types
there are four types of checks which transactions suffer.
Lost Update
two transactions write , the first one updates and commits ,
second one updates an rollbacks
Pattern
(x) -> W1 (y) -> C1 (y)
(x) -> W2 (z) -> R2 (x)
Dirty Read
one transaction reads the commit of a uncommitted transaction which does a rollback
Pattern
Unrepeatable Read
a transaction reads the same row twice and gets two different values.
this is due to a transaction which updates the row and commits between the two reads.
Phantom Reads
a transaction fetches a query twice and gets different number of rows each time.
this is due to a different transaction which commits between the two reads
ASNI Transaction Isolation Levels.
Read Uncommitted
Allows dirty reads
Prevents Lost updates
if a transaction X has to write something to a row it which has been updated by uncommitted transaction Y , X waits for Y to rollback or commit.
Read Committed
Allows repeatable reads
Prevents Dirty Reads
Implemented using shared read locks and exclusive write locks
Reading transactions don't block writing transactions.
Repeatable Read
Allows Phantom Reads
Prevents Repeatable Reads and Dirty Reads
Reading transactions block writing transactions but not other reads
Writing transactions block everything.
Serializable
Behaves in serial execution of transaction.
