Deciding Robustness for Lower SQL Isolation Levels
Summary: Characterizes robustness of transaction sets against read uncommitted and read committed by absence of specific counterexample schedules (split, multi-split) and cycles in order-sensitive interference graphs, unlike SI where atomic visibility simplifies analysis. Proves read-committed robustness is coNP-complete while read-uncommitted is LOGSPACE-complete. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
