Efficient and Flexible Methods for Transient Versioning of Records to Avoid Locking by Read-Only Transactions

Summary: Proposes transient versioning enabling read-only access to run without locks, returning slightly stale yet consistent versions with indexed access. Configurable version retention, partial rollbacks, per-record versioning, distributed commit support. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
