Here is an overview of the topics for your Database Management Systems (DBMS) assignment:

1. Concurrency Control

Concurrency control is crucial in a multi-user environment to ensure that database transactions are
executed concurrently without violating data integrity. Concurrency control techniques manage the
simultaneous operations on a database to prevent conflicts such as lost updates, temporary
inconsistency, and uncommitted data.

Techniques:
Lock-based protocols: Ensure mutual exclusion of transactions.

Timestamp-based protocols: Assign a unique timestamp to each transaction to avoid
conflicts.
Optimistic concurrency control: Assumes conflicts are rare and checks for conflicts only at
commit time.

2. ACID Properties

ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. These properties ensure that
database transactions are processed reliably:

Atomicity: Ensures that all operations within a transaction are completed; if not, the transaction
is aborted.
Consistency: Guarantees that a transaction transforms the database from one valid state to
another.
Isolation: Ensures that transactions are executed in isolation from each other.
Durability: Guarantees that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in the event of
system failure.

3. Serializability of Scheduling

Serializability refers to the correctness criterion for concurrent transaction execution. A schedule
(sequence of transactions) is serializable if its outcome is equivalent to the outcome of transactions
executed serially.

Types:
Conflict Serializability: When two transactions conflict on the same data item.
View Serializability: Based on the view of the transaction operations.

4. Locking and Timestamp-Based Schedulers

These are techniques for managing concurrent transactions.

Locking: A transaction locks a resource, preventing others from accessing it until the transaction
is complete. Types of locks include shared (read) and exclusive (write) locks.

Timestamp-Based Schedulers: Each transaction is given a unique timestamp. The system uses
these timestamps to order transactions to prevent conflicts.

5. Multiversion and Optimistic Concurrency Control Schemes

Multiversion Concurrency Control (MVCC): Maintains multiple versions of a data item, allowing
transactions to read older versions while others write new versions, improving read
performance.

Optimistic Concurrency Control: Assumes transactions will not conflict and checks for conflicts
only at the end of the transaction, during the commit phase.

6. Database Recovery

Database recovery ensures that the database can be restored to a consistent state after a failure.

Types of failures:
Transaction failure: Errors during transaction execution.
System failure: Failures like power outages that affect the system's performance.
Media failure: Physical damage to the storage device.
Recovery techniques:
Log-based recovery: Keeps logs of all transaction operations.
Checkpointing: Periodically saves the database state to reduce recovery time.
