Complete the code to define a schedule where transactions commit only after all transactions they depend on have committed.

DBMS Theory
A schedule is [1] if for every pair of transactions T_i and T_j, where T_j reads data written by T_i, T_i commits before T_j.

Fill all three blanks to complete the explanation of schedule properties.

DBMS Theory
If a schedule is [1], it is also [2], but the reverse is not always true. Additionally, [3] schedules prevent cascading aborts by disallowing reads of uncommitted data.
