Which of the following occurs when a transaction cannot proceed for an indefinite period of time while other transactions in the system continue normally?

Which of the following occurs when a transaction cannot proceed for an indefinite period of time while other transactions in the system continue normally? Correct Answer Starvation 

Concept:

  • Wound- wait and wait- die use timestamps to prevent deadlock.

  • Deadlock  occurs when each transaction t in a set of two or more transaction is waiting for some item that is locked by some other transaction  in the set

  • Starvation is nothing but one transaction is getting chances again and again and other are waiting for their turn and we cannot say when will they get chance to execute this is
    nothing but indefinite period of time waiting.


Hence option 1 is the correct answer.

In a database system, unique timestamps are assigned to each transaction using Lamport’s logical clock. Let TS(T1) and TS(T2) be the timestamps of transactions T1 and T2 respectively. Besides, T1 holds a lock on the resource R, and T2 has requested a conflicting lock on the same resource R. The following algorithm is used to prevent deadlocks in the database system assuming that a killed transaction is restarted with the same timestamp. If TS(T2) < TS(T1) then T1 is killed else T2 waits. Assume any transaction that is not killed terminates eventually. Which of the following is TRUE about the database system that uses the above algorithm to prevent deadlocks?

Based on the given para, answer the following question. Sensitivity considerations often are important in the design of Control Systems. Because all physical elements have properties that change with environment and age, we cannot always consider the parameters of the Control System to be completely stationary over the entire operating life of the system. For instance, the winding resistance of an electric motor changes as the temperature of the motor rises during operation. Control systems with electric components may not operate normally when first turned on because of the still-changing system parameters during warmup. This phenomenon is sometimes called “morning sickness”. Most duplicating machines have a warmup period during which time operation is blocked out when first turn on. A good Control System should be: (a) Very sensitive to parameter variations (b) Insensitive to parameter variations (c) Insensitive to input commands (d) Sensitive to input commands Which of the above are correct?
