The database community has produced extensive research on the concurrency control problem in the context of traditional databases. However, this traditional model is not suitable for some applications, such as software development environments and CAD/CAM systems. What is needed is an extended transaction model better suited for these newer applications. Unfortunately, there is no consensus as to which of the almost dozens of extended transaction models is appropriate.This paper posits that there is no single model which will be applicable to every application and seeks other ways to use existing database technology. Towards this end, we present PERN, a new transaction manager component which provides the flexible and tailorable support required by advanced database applications.
