Concepts: To ensure isolation, while one transaction is accessing a data item, we require that no other transaction can modify that data item. The most common method used to implement this requirement is to allow a transaction to access a data item only if it is currently holding a lock on that item. Deadlock is a situation in which two or more transactions are waiting for one another to give up locks.

Directions to complete the learning activity:

Create a discussion topic on deadlock. You are required to discuss various deadlock handling approaches such as deadlock prevention, deadlock detection, and deadlock recovery scheme you have learned.

The post should be between 150 and 300 words in length.

You can discuss one or more deadlock handling approaches in your post.

All the references should be in APA format if used.

You are allowed but not required to respond to another classmate.

This discussion is worth 1 point, which contributes to the class participation portion of the final score. You will get a full score as long as you describe one deadlock handling approach and meet the length and reference format requirements.
