Empirical Comparison of Database Concurrency Control Schemes
Summary: Empirically compares classical locking, two-version protocols, and optimistic concurrency control on six real DBMS workloads (60 MB–2.9 GB). A unified metric captures blocking and re-execution overhead, revealing results that overturn qualitative expectations. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
