PHP Miscellaneous
 int mysql_insert_id()
 Retrieves the ID generated for an
AUTO_INCREMENT column by the previous
INSERT query
 Return value:
 The ID generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT
column by the previous INSERT query on success
 0 if the previous query does not generate an
AUTO_INCREMENT value
 FALSE if no MySQL connection was established.

Example: Arrays
$result = mysql_query(“Select Name From
Users”);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
echo $row[‘Name’]. ‘</br>’;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
echo $row[0]. ‘</br>’;
}

Overview
 Miscellaneous
 Managing multi-user databases
Kroenke, Database Processing

Database Administration
 All large and small databases need database
administration
 NCLCA database (small DB)
 Both “user” and “administrator”
 Easy to change and manage
 What about large, multi-user DB?
 Much more difficult to manage
 May require a staff to manage (if large enough)

Concurrency Control
 Concurrency control: ensure that one
user’s work does not inappropriately
influence another user’s work
 No single concurrency control technique is
ideal for all circumstances
 Trade-offs need to be made between level of
protection and throughput
Kroenke, Database Processing
13
Atomic Transactions
 A transaction, or logical unit of work (LUW), is
a series of actions taken against the database
that occurs as an atomic unit
 Either all actions in a transaction occur - COMMIT
 Or none of them do - ABORT

Transactions Examples
 Reserve an airline seat. Buy an airline
ticket.
 Withdraw money from an ATM.
 Verify a credit card sale.
 Order an item from an Internet retailer.
Kroenke, Database Processing
17
Concurrent Transaction
 Concurrent transactions: transactions
that appear to users as they are being
processed at the same time
 In reality, CPU can execute only one
instruction at a time
 Transactions are interleaved
 Concurrency problems
 Lost updates
 Inconsistent reads

DBMS’s View
 User A: Read item 100
Set count 5 Write item 100
 User B:
Read item 100
Set
count 7 Write item 100
 T1: R(item)
W(item)
 T2:
R(item)
Commit
W(item) Commit
Kroenke, Database Processing
21
Inconsistent-Read Problem
 Dirty reads – read uncommitted data
 T1: R(A), W(A),
R(B), W(B), Abort
 T2:
R(A), W(A), Commit
 Unrepeatable reads
 T1: R(A),
R(A), W(A), Commit
 T2:
R(A), W(A), Commit

Resource Locking
 Resource locking prevents multiple
applications from obtaining copies of the same
record when the record is about to be changed
Kroenke, Database Processing
23
Lock Terminology
 Implicit locks are locks placed by the DBMS
 Explicit locks are issued by the application program
 Lock granularity refers to size of a locked resource
 Rows, page, table, and database level
 Large granularity is easy to manage but frequently
causes conflicts
 Types of lock
 Exclusive lock (X)- prohibits other users from reading the
locked resource
 Shared lock (S) - allows other users to read the locked
resource, but they cannot update it
 When would you use exclusive vs. shared?
Kroenke, Database Processing
24
Serializable Transactions
 Serializable transactions refer to two
transactions that run concurrently and generate
results that are consistent with the results that
would have occurred if they had run separately
 Two-phased locking is one of the techniques
used to achieve serializability
Kroenke, Database Processing
25
Two-phased Locking
 Two-phase locking
 Transactions are allowed to obtain locks as necessary
(growing phase)
 Once the first lock is released (shrinking phase), no
other lock can be obtained
 Strict two-phase locking
 All locks are released at the end of transaction
(COMMIT or ROLLBACK)
 More restrictive but easier to implement than twophase locking
Kroenke, Database Processing
26
Deadlock
 Deadlock: two transactions are each waiting on a
resource that the other transaction holds
 Preventing deadlock
 Allow users to issue all lock requests at one time
 Require all application programs to lock resources in the same
order
 Breaking deadlock
 Almost every DBMS has algorithms for detecting deadlock
 When deadlock occurs, DBMS aborts one of the transactions
and rollbacks partially completed work
Kroenke, Database Processing

Optimistic versus Pessimistic
Locking
 Optimistic locking assumes that no transaction conflict
will occur:
 DBMS processes a transaction; checks whether conflict
occurred:
 If not, the transaction is finished
 If so, the transaction is repeated until there is no conflict
 Pessimistic locking assumes that conflict will occur:
 Locks are issued before a transaction is processed, and then the
locks are released
 Optimistic locking is preferred for the Internet and for
many intranet applications

Pessimistic Locking

31
Declaring Lock Characteristics
 Most application programs do not explicitly declare locks
due to its complication
 Instead, they mark transaction boundaries and declare
locking behavior they want the DBMS to use
 Transaction boundary markers: BEGIN, COMMIT, and
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
 Advantage
 If the locking behavior needs to be changed, only the lock
declaration need be changed, not the application program
Kroenke, Database Processing

ACID Transactions
 Acronym ACID transaction is one that is Atomic,
Consistent, Isolated, and Durable
 Atomic means either all or none of the database
actions occur
 Durable means database committed changes
are permanent
Kroenke, Database Processing
34
ACID Transactions
 Consistency means either statement level or
transaction level consistency
 Statement level consistency: each statement
independently processes rows consistently
 Transaction level consistency: all rows impacted by
either of the SQL statements are protected from
changes during the entire transaction
 With transaction level consistency, a transaction may not see
its own changes
Kroenke, Database Processing
35
Statement Level Consistency
UPDATE CUSTOMER
SET
AreaCode = ‘425’
WHERE ZipCode = ‘21666’
Kroenke, Database Processing
36
Transaction Level Consistency
Start transaction
UPDATE CUSTOMER
SET
AreaCode = ‘425’
WHERE ZipCode = ‘21666’
….other transaction work
UPDATE CUSTOMER
SET
Discount = 0.25
WHERE AreaCode = ‘425’
End Transaction
Kroenke, Database Processing
37
ACID Transactions
 Isolation means application programmers are
able to declare the type of isolation level and to
have the DBMS manage locks so as to achieve
that level of isolation
 SQL-92 defines four transaction isolation
levels:




Read uncommitted
Read committed
Repeatable read
Serializable

Cursor Type
 A cursor is a pointer into a set of records
 It can be defined using SELECT statements
 Four cursor types
 Forward only: the application can only move forward through
the recordset
 Scrollable cursors can be scrolled forward and backward
through the recordset
 Static: processes a snapshot of the relation that was taken when
the cursor was opened
 Keyset: combines some features of static cursors with some
features of dynamic cursors
 Dynamic: a fully featured cursor
 Choosing appropriate isolation levels and cursor types
is critical to database design
