Which one of the following statements about the schedules is TRUE?

Consider the following log sequence of two transactions on a bank account, with initial balance 12000, that transfer 2000 to a mortgage payment and then apply a 5% interest.

  1. T1 start
  2. T1 B old=12000 new=10000
  3. T1 M old=0 new=2000
  4. T1 commit
  5. T2 start
  6. T2 B old=10000 new=10500
  7. T2 commit 

Suppose the database system crashes just before log record 7 is written. When the system is restarted, which one statement is true of the recovery procedure?

S = T1:R(x), T1:R(y), T1:W(x), T2:R(y), T3:W(y), T1:W(x), T2:R(y) 

Which of the following scenarios may lead to an irrecoverable error in a database system ?

Consider three data items D1, D2 and D3 and the following execution schedule of transactions T1, T2 and T3. In the diagram, R(D) and W(D) denote the actions reading and writing the data item D respectively.



Which of the following statements is correct?

Consider the following transaction involving two bank accounts x and y.

read(x);  x := x – 50;  write(x);  read(y);  y := y + 50;  write(y) 

The constraint that the sum of the accounts x and y should remain constant is that of

Consider a simple checkpointing protocol and the following set of operations in the log.

(start, T4); (write, T4, y, 2, 3); (start, T1); (commit, T4); (write, T1, z, 5, 7);
(checkpoint);
(start, T2); (write, T2, x, 1, 9); (commit, T2); (start, T3); (write, T3, z, 7, 2); 

If a crash happens now and the system tries to recover using both undo and redo operations, what are the contents of the undo list and the redo list
