JE is designed to support multi-threaded applications, but their usage means
|
||
you must pay careful attention to issues of concurrency.
|
||
Transactions help your application's concurrency by providing various levels of
|
||
isolation for your threads of control. In addition, JE
|
||
provides mechanisms that allow you to detect and respond to
|
||
deadlocks.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>Isolation</em></span> means that database modifications made by
|
||
one transaction will not normally be seen by readers from another
|
||
transaction until the first commits its changes. Different threads
|
||
use different transaction handles, so
|
||
this mechanism is normally used to provide isolation between
|
||
database operations performed by different threads.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Note that JE supports different isolation levels. For example,
|
||
you can configure your application to see uncommitted reads, which means
|
||
that one transaction can see data that has been modified but not yet
|
||
committed by another transaction. Doing this might mean your
|
||
transaction reads data "dirtied" by another transaction,
|
||
but which subsequently might change before that
|
||
other transaction commits its changes.
|
||
On the other hand, lowering your isolation
|
||
requirements means that your application can experience
|
||
improved throughput due to reduced lock contention.
|
||
</p>

||

||

|
||
levels, and on deadlock detection, see <a class="xref" href="txnconcurrency.html" title="Chapter 4. Concurrency">Concurrency</a>.
