On-the-Fly, Incremental, Consistent Reading of Entire Databases
Summary: On-the-fly, incremental reads with locking concurrency run alongside normal transactions, locking entities one by one to expose a consistent database image. The approach minimizes aborts, requires only a lock-table extension, and scales to distributed DBs without changing physical design. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
