Pre-Analysis Locking: A Safe and Deadlock Free Locking Policy
Summary: Pre-analysis locking: a safe, deadlock-free policy inserting lock/unlock ops into transactions via a geometric algorithm. Not a 2PL variant; it's the first general locking policy, with workloads where it beats 2PL and others where 2PL dominates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
