concurrency
A condition in which two or more transactions act on the same record in a database at the
same time. To process a transaction, a program must assume that its input from the
database is consistent, regardless of any concurrent changes being made to the database.
TMF manages concurrent transactions through concurrency control.
concurrency control
Protection of a database record from concurrent access by more than one process. TMF
imposes this control by dynamically locking and unlocking affected records to ensure that
only one transaction at a time accesses those records.
