Concurrency control

ID: concurrency-control

Concurrency control is a concept in database management systems (DBMS) that ensures the integrity of data when multiple transactions are executed simultaneously. It is crucial in a multi-user environment where several transactions may read and write to the same data concurrently. Without proper concurrency control, issues such as lost updates, temporary inconsistency, and uncommitted data can occur, leading to data anomalies.
