Distributed Database - Quiz 1


1. Let us suppose that in a distributed database, during a transaction T1, one of the sites, say S1, is failed. When recovers, the site S1 has to check its log file (log based recovery) to decide the next move on the transaction T1. If the log contains a record, what the site S1 has to do?
    Need not do anything
    Perform Undo
    Perform Redo
    Abort the transaction

    Handling concurrency control

    In-doubt transactions
    Serialized transactions
    Cascadeless transactions
    Distributed transactions

4. While using commit protocols for handling atomicity issues, the distributed database system may enter into a situation called Blocking problem. Which of the following commit protocols can avoid Blocking problem?
    Two-phase commit protocol

    TRUE
    FALSE

9. The real use of the Two-phase commit protocol is ______________
    Deadlock will not occur
