Many database applications execute transactions under a weaker isolation level, such as READ COMMITTED. This often leads to concurrency bugs that look like race conditions in multi-threaded programs. While this problem is well known, philosophies of how to address this problem vary a lot, ranging from making a SERIALIZABLE database faster to living with weaker isolation and the consequence of concurrency bugs. In this episode, Yang talks about the consequences of these bugs, the root causes, and how developers have fixed 93 real-world concurrency bugs in database applications. Who's responsibility is it to prevent these bugs from happening? The database or the developer? Listen to find out more!
