A Practical Deadlock Avoidance Algorithm for Data Base Systems
Summary: Practical deadlock-avoidance algorithm for database systems; performance largely independent of the count of lockable resources (millions of records). Supports both exclusive and shared locking; detailed discussion of performance and functional characteristics. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
