Assignment 5 - Transactions
Objectives
Demonstrate understanding of ACID and transactions
Assignment
ACID is a set of rules, not an algorithm. For a database system to implement ACID requirements it must implement it using an algorithm
You will submit a one page maximum limit paper with information comparing how databases implement transaction management to meet the ACID requirements. One of these databases must be SQL Server, you can select any other database for the comparison. You should specifically discuss the differences in algorithms used.
Be sure to cite references (this must be done on the one page) - you should have at least 2 references (since you are comparing 2 databases).
Submit the assignment in pdf or doc format.
Information
You will want to Google Search on implementing database ACID
Estimated Completion Time
5-10 hours to watch video, research requirements - and write the one page paper.
Supporting Lectures
Lecture - Getting Started with Transactions in T-SQL
Questions and Answers
This will require some web research into the algorithms used.
External Resources
Web sources are sufficient for this assignment, you will need to do some product research (Post-Gre, Oracle, IBM Progress, MySQL, are all examples of database that you can use for comparison)
Grading Criteria
The paper should be a well written document with no grammar errors and represents your research and knowledge of ACID and specific implementations to meet the requirements of ACID in transaction management.
