TxnSails: Achieving Serializable Transaction Scheduling with Self-Adaptive Isolation Level Selection

Summary: TxnSails: a middle‑tier achieving serializable scheduling via a unified CC that leverages lower isolation levels plus cross‑isolation validation for safe runtime transitions. A learned model selects isolation levels by trading throughput vs validation cost, yielding up to 26.7× vs prior work and 4.8× vs Postgres serializable. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
