Abstract

Here we have a group of database transactions that are dependent on each other. Our Database service in the cloud gives the client application the option to provide a Transaction Group identifier which follows Write-Ahead Log Protocol will log the transaction details like Log Sequence Number for transaction, transaction identifier, etc. as well as the Transaction Group identifier. The Database service can also log information like timestamp of the first transaction in the Dependent Database Transactions Group along with its Log Sequence Number which makes it easier to search during recovery. Our Database Recovery Service following Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics (ARIES) will do the Analysis phase, Redo phase and finally Undo phase in which it will delete actions of all transactions in the group of dependent transactions whose all transactions are not committed.

Description

Grouping Dependent Database Transactions for Recovery
In this invention we have a group of database transactions that are dependent on each other (also may be these transactions must be in predefined order). Our Database service in the cloud gives the client application the option to provide a Transaction Group identifier which follows Write-Ahead Log Protocol will log the transaction details like Log Sequence Number for transaction, transaction identifier, etc. as well as the Transaction Group identifier. The Database service can also log information like timestamp of the first transaction in the Dependent Database Transactions Group along with its Log Sequence Number which makes it easier to search during recovery. Now let us suppose that there were five such transactions in a group and four transactions have occurred with of course their details logged too along with their unique Transaction Group identifier. Suddenly there is a system crash. Our Database Recovery Service following Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics
(ARIES) will first do the Analysis phase to determine the point in the log at which to start the Redo pass (from the most recent check point taken by the Database Recovery Service), to determine (a conservative superset of the) pages in the buffer pool that were dirty at the time of the crash (by looking up in the dirty page table maintained by the Buffer Manager), to identify transactions that were active at the time of the crash (by looking up in the transaction table maintained by the Transaction Manager) and must be undone. Then in the Redo phase our Database Recovery Service reapplies the updates of all transactions, committed or otherwise. Further, if a transaction was aborted before the crash and its updates were undone, as indicated by Compensation Log Records (A compensation log record is written just before the change recorded in an update log record U is undone. Such an undo can happen during normal system execution when a transaction is aborted or during recovery from a crash), the actions described in the Compensation Log Records are also reapplied. Now in the Undo phase our Database Recovery Service unlike other two phases scans backward from the end of the log. The goal of this phase to undo the actions of all active transactions at the time of the crash as well as undo the actions all committed transactions in a group of dependent transactions where one or more transactions in the group have not been committed (Uncommitted transactions might or might not be active at the time of system crash). Our Database
Recovery Service begins with the transaction table constructed in the Analysis phase, which identifies all transactions active at the time of the crash, and includes the Log Sequence Number of the most recent log record (the last Log Sequence Number field) for each such transaction. All actions of such transactions must be undone, and further, these actions will be undone in the reverse of the order in which they appear in the log. Similarly our Database Recovery Service will check for the timestamp and Log Sequence Number of the first transaction in the group of dependent transactions (this action will be carried for all active groups of dependent transactions by looping through the active transaction group identifiers or for groups of dependent transactions whose all transactions are not committed). Our Database Recovery Service will scan the log from the record with the Log Sequence Number and timestamp for the first transaction in the transaction group identifier to look for more actions of the transactions in the same group with the help of transaction group identifier and further, these actions will be undone in the reverse of the order in which they appear in the log.

Claims

Claims Following is the claim for this invention: -
1. In this invention we have a group of database transactions that are
dependent on each other (also may be these transactions must be in predefined order). Our Database service in the cloud gives the client application the option to provide a Transaction Group identifier which follows Write- Ahead Log Protocol will log the transaction details like Log Sequence Number for transaction, transaction identifier, etc. as well as the Transaction Group identifier. The Database service can also log information like timestamp of the first transaction in the Dependent Database Transactions Group along with its Log Sequence Number which makes it easier to search during recovery. Now let us suppose that there were five such transactions in a group and four transactions have occurred with of course their details logged too along with their unique Transaction Group identifier. Suddenly there is a system crash. Our Database Recovery Service following Algorithms for Recovery and Isolation Exploiting Semantics (ARIES) will first do the Analysis phase to determine the point in the log at which to start the Redo pass (from the most recent check point taken by the Database Recovery Service), to determine (a conservative superset of the) pages in the buffer pool that were dirty at the time of the crash (by looking up in the dirty page table maintained by the Buffer Manager), to identify transactions that were active at the time of the crash (by looking up in the transaction table maintained by the Transaction Manager) and must be undone. Then in the Redo phase our Database Recovery Service reapplies the updates of all transactions, committed or otherwise. Further, if a transaction was aborted before the crash and its updates were undone, as indicated by Compensation Log Records (A compensation log record is written just before the change recorded in an update log record U is undone. Such an undo can happen during normal system execution when a transaction is aborted or during recovery from a crash), the actions described in the Compensation Log Records are also reapplied. Now in the Undo phase our Database Recovery Service unlike other two phases scans backward from the end of the log. The goal of this phase to undo the actions of all active transactions at the time of the crash as well as undo the actions all committed transactions in a group of dependent transactions where one or more transactions in the group have not been committed (Uncommitted transactions might or might not be active at the time of system crash).
Our Database Recovery Service begins with the transaction table constructed in the Analysis phase, which identifies all transactions active at the time of the crash, and includes the Log Sequence Number of the most recent log record (the last Log Sequence Number field) for each such transaction. All actions of such transactions must be undone, and further, these actions will be undone in the reverse of the order in which they appear in the log. Similarly our Database Recovery Service will check for the timestamp and Log Sequence Number of the first transaction in the group of dependent transactions (this action will be carried for all active groups of dependent transactions by looping through the active transaction group identifiers or for groups of dependent transactions whose all transactions are not committed). Our Database Recovery Service will scan the log from the record with the Log
Sequence Number and timestamp for the first transaction in the transaction group identifier to look for more actions of the transactions in the same group with the help of transaction group identifier and further, these actions will be undone in the reverse of the order in which they appear in the log. The above novel technique of providing recovery functionality for group of dependent transactions is the claim for this invention.
