Abstract

A non-preemptive deadlock-free concurrency control mechanism based on extendible hashing has been presented for main memory database system. The algorithm makes use of the verification process of the optimistic concurrency control algorithm and two-phase locking policy to manage concurrent operations on sharable data. We also present a comparison of our algorithm with other two-phase locking mechanisms and show that our algorithm is more robust, easier to implement and provides a higher degree of concurrency than other algorithms on extendible hash file.
