  Multiversion concurrency control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, in the field of databases, multiversion concurrency control (abbreviated MCC or MVCC) is a concurrency control method commonly used by database management systems to provide concurrent access to the database.
MCC ensures a transaction never has to wait for a database object and to maintain several versions of an object.
MCC is particularly adept at implementing true snapshot isolation, something which other methods of concurrency control frequently do either incompletely or with high performance cost.

 Concurrency Control   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Concurrency control is especially applicable to database management systems, which must ensure that transactions are executed safely and that they follow the ACID rules, as described in the following section.
All the currently implemented lock-based and almost all the implemented non-lock based concurrency controls will guarantee that the resultant schedule is conflict serializable; however, there are many academic texts encouraging view serializable schedules for environments where gains due to improvement in concurrency outstrip overheads in generating schedule plans.
Optimistic Concurrency Control is based on the assumption that database transactions mostly don't conflict with other transactions, and that allows OCC to be as permissive as possible in allowing transactions to execute.

This approach to concurrency control is called multiversion concurrency control.
Multiversion concurrency control also makes true snapshot transaction Isolation (computer science) relatively simple to implement.
Multiversion concurrency control is described in some detail in sections 4.3 and 5.5 of the 1981 paper Concurrency Control in Distributed Database Systems by Philip Bernstein and Nathan Goodman -- then employed by the Computer Corporation of America.

 Multiversion Concurrency Control Before InterBase
Multiversion concurrency control is described in some detail 4.3 and 5.5 of this 1981 paper by Philip Bernstein and Nathan Goodman -- then employed by the Computer Corporation of America.
It seems that the idea of multiversion concurrency control and recovery is somewhat older than InterBase, at least insofar as discussion in technical papers is concerned.
He had published a claiming there only two or three four ways to concurrency control, only so many ways to recovery, etc., so there were only a small number of ways to write a database system, so people were wasting their time thinking out it any.

Compared to a widely used multiversion (MV) concurrency control scheme based on timestamps order, the VT synchronization scheme is shown to yield about 25-30% reduction in the response time.
The reason for choosing multiversion concurrency control as the basis for comparison is that both VT and MV protocols are based upon the concept of timestamps, and attain high performance by using multiple version of data objects.

 UNIT 9 - Concurrency Control - Extend 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
When a transaction requires access to an item, an appropriate version is chosen to maintain the serializability of the concurrently executing schedule, if possible.
An obvious drawback of multiversion techniques is that more storage is needed to maintain multiple versions of the database items.
In such cases, there is no additional penalty for multiversion techniques, since older versions are already maintained.

 Concurrency (Multi-User access) and Locking
One of the key functions of a database is to ensure that multiple users can read and write to the database without overwriting each other's changes inadvertently or reading inconsistent data due to in-progress changes.
Oracle guarantees that the set of data seen by a statement is consistent with respect to a single point in time and does not change during statement execution.
To manage the multiversion consistency model, Oracle must create a read-consistent set of data when a table is being queried (read) and simultaneously updated (written).

In addition, when a multidatabase MVCC snapshot is being taken concurrently with the commit of an update transaction, and the intersection of the snapshot's data with the update transaction's written data spans more than one server, a delay may occur while the servers determine whether the update is or is not visible in the snapshot.

Multiversion concurrency control is the primary approach to addressing the issue of interference between concurrent update transactions and read-only queries (1).
By maintaining multiple versions of data objects, interference between them can be reduced or eliminated: update transactions create a new version of an object upon each update, while queries access an old, but consistent, version (2,3).

 PODS 1988: 135-141
We propose a new algorithmic framework for database concurrency control using multiple versions of data items and a serialization graph of the transactions as a synchronization technique, which generalizes all concurrency control methods known so far.
This class of algorithms, called MVSGA for MultiVersion Serialization Graph set of Algorithms, works by monitoring the acyclicity of the serialization graph which has nodes corresponding to transactions and arcs corresponding to read-from and other transaction positioning decisions made by the scheduler.

Therefore, control of data concurrency and data consistency is vital in a multiuser database.
Complete isolation of concurrently running transactions could mean that one transaction cannot perform an insert into a table being queried by another transaction.
Serializable isolation permits concurrent transactions to make only those database changes they could have made if the transactions had been scheduled to execute one after another.
