Concurrency control is a fundamental aspect of database management that ensures data integrity and consistency in multi-user environments. Locking is a widely adopted technique in concurrency control mechanisms, providing a structured approach to managing concurrent access to shared resources.
Concurrency Control and Locking
In the context of databases, concurrency refers to the ability of multiple users to simultaneously access and modify data. To prevent data corruption and ensure data integrity, it is crucial to regulate concurrent access and maintain data consistency. Locking serves as a fundamental mechanism for achieving concurrency control.
