Message-ID: Date: 6 Dec 90 02:43:42 GMT Sender: news@cs.columbia.edu (The Daily News) Reply-To: swfc@cs.columbia.edu Distribution: na Organization: Columbia University Computer Science Lines: 22 1. I am looking for papers that describe in some detail *implementations* of transaction managers. In particular, I am interested in commit protocols, lock managers, and log processing. I already have papers on Camelot and ARIES. Please e-mail me any other references you may have. 2. Does anyone know if the Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on High Performance Transaction Systems (1985) was ever published? 3. What is the difference between a lock and a latch? Better yet, what is a latch? (I encountered these terms in one of the ARIES (IBM/Almaden) papers.) Thanks. *swfc -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shu-Wie F Chen Columbia University Department of Computer Science swfc@cs.columbia.edu 500 W120th Street, New York, NY 10027 Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
