Transaction Support in a Temporal DBMS

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Temporal Databases

Part of the book series: Workshops in Computing ((WORKSHOPS COMP.))

Abstract

Transactions are a significant concept in database systems, facilitating functions both at user and system level. However transaction support in temporal DBMSs has not yet received enough research attention. In this paper, we present techniques for incorporating transaction support in a temporal DBMS, which is implemented as an additional layer to a commercial RDBMS. These techniques overcome certain limitations imposed by the underlying RDBMS, and avoid excessive increment of the log size.
