easy

Complete the code to identify the type of schedule that ensures transactions appear to execute one after another.

DBMS Theory
A schedule is called [1] serializable if it is equivalent to some serial schedule.

Complete the code to describe the condition for two operations to conflict.

DBMS Theory
Two operations conflict if they access the same data item and at least one of them is a [1] operation.

Fix the error in the statement about conflict serializability.

DBMS Theory
If a schedule has no cycle in its [1] graph, it is conflict serializable.

💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Believing any cycle means serializability.
Confusing the type of graph used.

Fill both blanks to complete the code that builds a precedence graph for conflict serializability.

DBMS Theory
For each pair of conflicting operations, add an edge from transaction [1] to transaction [2] in the precedence graph.

💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Reversing the direction of edges.
Using commit or abort events instead of operation order.
5fill in blank

Fill all three blanks to complete the code that checks conflict serializability using a precedence graph.

DBMS Theory
Build the graph with nodes as transactions, add edges for conflicts, then check if the graph has any [1]. If no cycles, the schedule is [2] serializable; otherwise, it is [3] serializable.
