Schedule Properties
If a concurrent schedule on a set of tx's TT ...
- produces the same effect as a serial schedule on TT
- then we say that the schedule is serializable
Primary goal of isolation mechanisms (see later) is
- arrange execution of individual operations in tx's in TT
- to ensure that a serializable schedule is produced
Serializability is one property of a schedule, focusing on isolation
Other properties of schedules focus on recovering from failures
