Analysis Narrative
Analysis Slides

In a multi-user database, it is essential to provide a means for operating concurrent transactions in order to increase the efficiency of the database. At the time of publication of this article, very simple policies providing concurrent processing had already been implemented. These existing policies were not efficient for working in a massively concurrent system. Systems that had fast concurrent policies did not have a fine grain approach to the locking policy, while those policies with fine grain had a large amount of overhead in order to create the locks.
