Schedule in DBMS

Schedule

A series of operation from one transaction to another transaction is known as schedule. It is used to preserve the order of the operation in each of the individual transaction.

Schedule in DBMS


1. Serial Schedule
The serial schedule is a type of schedule where one transaction is executed completely before starting another transaction. In the serial schedule, when the first transaction completes its cycle, then the next transaction is executed.

For example: Suppose there are two transactions T1 and T2 which have some operations. If it has no interleaving of operations, then there are the following two possible outcomes:
  1. Execute all the operations of T1 which was followed by all the operations of T2. 
  2. Execute all the operations of T1 which was followed by all the operations of T2. 

  • In the given (a) figure, Schedule A shows the serial schedule where T1 followed by T2.
  • In the given (b) figure, Schedule B shows the serial schedule where T2 followed by T1.

2. Non-serial Schedule
  • If interleaving of operations is allowed, then there will be non-serial schedule.
  • It contains many possible orders in which the system can execute the individual operations of the transactions.
  • In the given figure (c) and (d), Schedule C and Schedule D are the non-serial schedules. It has interleaving of operations.

3. Serializable Schedule
  • The serializability of schedules is used to find non-serial schedules that allow the transaction to execute concurrently without interfering with one another. 
  • It identifies which schedules are correct when executions of the transaction have interleaving of their operations.
  • A non-serial schedule will be serializable if its result is equal to the result of its transactions executed serially.

Here,

Schedule A and Schedule B are serial schedule.

Schedule C and Schedule D are Non-serial schedule.

All About Microservices Architecture

All About Microservices Architecture **Microservices Architecture** is an approach to software development where a large application is broken down into smaller, independent services that can operate and be deployed independently. Instead of building a monolithic application, which is a single, tightly-integrated unit, microservices architecture divides the functionality into separate services that communicate with each other through well-defined APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Key characteristics of microservices architecture include: 1. **Modularity:** Each microservice represents a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. 2. **Independence:** Microservices are autonomous, meaning they can be developed, deployed, and updated without affecting the entire system. This independence allows for faster development cycles. 3. **Scalability:** Since each service is independent, you can scale only the specific microservices that require...

Relational Calculus

Relational Calculus There is an alternate way of formulating queries known as Relational Calculus. Relational calculus is a non-procedural query language. In the non-procedural query language, the user is concerned with the details of how to obtain the end results. The relational calculus tells what to do but never explains how to do. Most commercial relational languages are based on aspects of relational calculus including SQL-QBE and QUEL. Why it is called Relational Calculus? It is based on Predicate calculus, a name derived from branch of symbolic language. A predicate is a truth-valued function with arguments. On substituting values for the arguments, the function result in an expression called a proposition. It can be either true or false. It is a tailored version of a subset of the Predicate Calculus to communicate with the relational database. Many of the calculus expressions involves the use of Quantifiers. There are two types of quantifiers: Universal Quantifiers: The univer...

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

What is Natural Language Processing (NLP) ? Natural Language Processing (NLP)* is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans using natural language. It involves the development of algorithms and models that enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. Here are key aspects of NLP: 1. *Text Understanding:* NLP systems aim to comprehend the meaning of written or spoken language. This involves tasks such as text classification, sentiment analysis, and named entity recognition. 2. *Speech Recognition:* NLP extends to processing spoken language, converting audio signals into text. This technology is used in voice assistants, transcription services, and more. 3. *Language Generation:* NLP systems can generate human-like text. This is employed in chatbots, language translation services, and content generation. 4. *Machine Translation:* NLP is fundamental to machine translation systems that enable the automatic...
