  2. Optimistic concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimistic_concurrency_control

    Any PUT requests with an out-of-date ETag in the If-Match header can then be rejected. [3] Some database management systems offer OCC natively, without requiring special application code. For others, the application can implement an OCC layer outside of the database, and avoid waiting or silently overwriting records.

  3. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    For example, in OLTP systems, many transactions may attempt to insert data into the same table at the same time. In a shared nothing system, at any given moment, all such inserts are processed by the single server that manages that partition (shard) of the table, possibly overwhelming it, while the rest of the system has little to do. Many such ...

  4. Concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_control

    Thus concurrency control is an essential element for correctness in any system where two database transactions or more, executed with time overlap, can access the same data, e.g., virtually in any general-purpose database system. Consequently, a vast body of related research has been accumulated since database systems emerged in the early 1970s.

  5. Slowly changing dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowly_changing_dimension

    In data management and data warehousing, a slowly changing dimension (SCD) is a dimension that stores data which, while generally stable, may change over time, often in an unpredictable manner. [1] This contrasts with a rapidly changing dimension , such as transactional parameters like customer ID, product ID, quantity, and price, which undergo ...

  6. Online transaction processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_transaction_processing

    An OLTP system is an accessible data processing system in today's enterprises. Some examples of OLTP systems include order entry, retail sales, and financial transaction systems. [5] Online transaction processing systems increasingly require support for transactions that span a network and may include more than one company.

  7. Busy waiting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting

    The scheduler is given the information needed to implement priority inheritance or other mechanisms to avoid starvation. Busy-waiting itself can be made much less wasteful by using a delay function (e.g., sleep()) found in most operating systems. This puts a thread to sleep for a specified time, during which the thread will waste no CPU time.

  8. Staging (data) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staging_(data)

    In other cases data might be brought into the staging area to be processed at different times; or the staging area may be used to push data to multiple target systems. As an example, daily operational data might be pushed to an operational data store (ODS) while the same data may be sent in a monthly aggregated form to a data warehouse.

  9. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    The round-trip time or ping time is the time from the start of the transmission from the sending node until a response (for example an ACK packet or ping ICMP response) is received at the same node. It is affected by packet delivery time as well as the data processing delay, which depends on the load on the responding node. If the sent data ...
