Abstract

This chapter gives an overview on multilevel transactions and its generalization toward open nested transactions. The main features of these transaction models are the following: first, semantic properties of operations can be exploited to relax the isolation of concurrent transactions; sedcond, as a consequence, atomicity is achieved by compensation rather than state-based undo; and third, subtransactions can be made persistent independently of their commit state, that is, global visibility of their updates.
