Concurrency Control/Evidence
Method evidence record

Concurrency Control

Concurrency control is the set of mechanisms used to coordinate concurrent transactions accessing shared data without corrupting the database. Formalized by database theorists in the 1970s-1980s, concurrency control ensures that multiple simultaneous transactions produce the same result as if they executed sequentially (serializability).
