User Logins, Groups, and Roles
•
The SQL Server 2000 logins let you authorize users to access
the database by specifying valid usernames and passwords.
•
Groups are a collection of database members who are given
permissions to use the SQL Server 2000 database.
•
Roles group users according to their database use.

ACID Transactions
• Acronym ACID transaction is one that is
Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, and
Durable
• Atomic means either all or none of the
database actions occur
• Durable means database committed
changes are permanent

Course Name: IT390 Business Database
Administration Unit 8 Slide 8
ACID Transactions
• Consistency means either statement level or
transaction level consistency.
 Statement level consistency: each statement
independently processes rows consistently
 Transaction level consistency: all rows
impacted by either of the SQL statements are
protected from changes during the entire
transaction.
• With transaction level consistency, a
transaction may not see its own changes.

Administration Unit 8 Slide 9
ACID Transactions
• Isolation means application programmers are
able to declare the type of isolation level and to
have the DBMS manage locks so as to achieve
that level of isolation
• SQL-92 defines four transaction isolation
levels:
 Read uncommitted
 Read committed
 Repeatable read
 Serializable

Concurrency Control
• Concurrency control ensures that one
user’s work does not inappropriately
influence another user’s work


No single concurrency control technique is ideal for
all circumstances
Trade-offs need to be made between level of
protection and throughput

Administration Unit 8 Slide 12
Atomic Transactions
• A transaction, or logical unit of work
(LUW), is a series of actions taken against
the database that occurs as an atomic unit

Either all actions in a transaction occur or do none of
them

Concurrent Transaction
• Concurrent transactions refer to two or more
transactions that appear to users as they are
being processed against a database at the same
time.
• In reality, CPU can execute only one instruction at
a time.
 Transactions are interleaved meaning that
the operating system quickly switches CPU
services among tasks so that some portion of
each of them is carried out in a given interval.
• Concurrency problems: lost update and
inconsistent reads.

Resource Locking
• Resource locking prevents multiple
applications from obtaining copies of the
same record when the record is about to
be changed

Administration Unit 8 Slide 19
Lock Terminology
•
•
•
•
•
Implicit locks are locks placed by the DBMS
Explicit locks are issued by the application program
Lock granularity refers to size of a locked resource
 Rows, page, table, and database level
Large granularity is easy to manage but frequently causes
conflicts
Types of lock
 An exclusive lock prohibits other users from reading the
locked resource
 A shared lock allows other users to read the locked resource,
but they cannot update it

Serializable Transactions
• Serializable transactions refer to two
transactions that run concurrently and
generate results that are consistent with
the results that would have occurred if
they had run separately.
• Two-phased locking is one of the
techniques used to achieve
serializability.
© 2006 ITT Educational Services Inc.
Course Name: IT390 Business Database
Administration Unit 8 Slide 22
Two-phased Locking
• Two-phased locking
 Transactions are allowed to obtain locks as
necessary (growing phase).
 Once the first lock is released (shrinking
phase), no other lock can be obtained.
• A special case of two-phased locking.
 Locks are obtained throughout the transaction.
 No lock is released until the COMMIT or
ROLLBACK command is issued.
 This strategy is more restrictive but easier to
implement than two-phased locking.

Administration Unit 8 Slide 23
Deadlock
• Deadlock, or the deadly embrace, occurs when two
transactions are each waiting on a resource that the other
transaction holds.
• Preventing deadlock
 Allows users to issue all lock requests at one time.
 Requires all application programs to lock resources in
the same order.
• Breaking deadlock
 Almost every DBMS has algorithms for detecting
deadlock.
 When deadlock occurs, DBMS aborts one of the
transactions and rollbacks partially completed work.

Optimistic versus Pessimistic Locking
•
•
•
Optimistic locking assumes that no transaction conflict will occur:
 DBMS processes a transaction; checks whether conflict
occurred:
• If not, the transaction is finished
• If so, the transaction is repeated until there is no conflict
Pessimistic locking assumes that conflict will occur:
 Locks are issued before a transaction is processed, and then
the locks are released
Optimistic locking is preferred for the Internet and for many
intranet applications

Declaring Lock Characteristics
• Most application programs do not explicitly declare
locks due to its complication
• Instead, they mark transaction boundaries and
declare locking behavior they want the DBMS to use
 Transaction boundary markers: BEGIN,
COMMIT, and ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
• Advantage
 If the locking behavior needs to be changed,
only the lock declaration need be changed, not
the application program

Planning and Monitoring Security
•
Security planning deals with the decisions by
which the users are permitted to access a part of
the database.
•
SQL Server 2000 provides two types of
permissions:

Statement permissions

Object permissions

Administration Unit 8 Slide 33
Planning and Monitoring Security (cont.)
• The SQL Server 2000 permissions can exist
in any of the following modes:

Grant

Deny

Revoke

Course Name: IT390 Business Database
Administration Unit 8 Slide 34
Establishing a Security Scheme
You can implement a security scheme using the following SQL
statements:
• GRANT: You specify the following options in a GRANT
statement:
 The list of privileges to be granted
 The name of the table or views to which the privileges
apply
 The User ID to which the privileges are granted
• REVOKE: Similar to granting privileges, you can
revoke all privileges on a table from a user. The
cascading effect of the REVOKE statement varies with
the kind of privilege you are working.

Course Name: IT390 Business Database
Administration Unit 8 Slide 35
Types of Privileges
• System-level privileges: System-level privileges
are applied to a particular user account and may
include commands to create a table or a view,
alter, drop, and modify a table, or to select
specific data from a table.
• Object-level privileges: Object-level privileges are
granted on a table or a view that the user must be
allowed to access.
• In SQL, the following privileges can be specified
for each table or view Object:
SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE.

State Whether True or False
In a nested transaction, the outer most
transaction needs to be committed so that the
complete structure is saved.
Save Points are last good known committed
flags in the transaction log, to which a
transaction can be rolled back.
