History[03]

The story of linter database starts back in 1980 when a group of developers working in a government-owned company started to develop a database system named DBMS BARS for a RANFOS operating system.

Later in the 1990 same group set a private company named RELEX which is acronym for "RELational EXpert Systems" and this is when Linter database has arrived.

Concurrency Control[04]

Strict 2 phase locking. Thus, every DML operation causing an exclusive lock to be put on the record that is being changed at the moment.

When a select statement reaches the tuple that has been updated but not yet committed, it gets stalled until the lock is down.

Whenever a transaction updates many tuples on the same table, the whole table gets an exclusive lock in order to reduce resource overhead while managing multiple row-level locks

Deadlocks are being detected on the fly by the means of an internal deadlock manager
