Using Read Promotion and Mixed Isolation Levels for Performant Yet Serializable Execution of Transaction Programs

Summary: Compute minimal isolation per transaction program in mixed-isolation deployments (for parameterized programs), ensuring serializability and preservation of implicit integrity constraints. Optimize via semantics-preserving code edits and selective read-promotion to boost throughput; demonstrated on SmallBank. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
