What is the role of the 2-Phase Commitment protocol in Distributed database transactions? And
explain how it works?
Let the transaction T performs a FUNDS TRANSFER operation on a global relation
ACCOUNT(ACCOUNT_NUMBER, AMOUNT). The application reads the $AMOUNT that needs to be
transferred and also reads the $FROM_ACC and $TO_ACC. Assuming the from and to accounts are
located at different sites. Explain how the transactions can be executed in a distributed environment with the
help of actions and messages.

What is the role of 2-Phase Locking protocol in concurrency control? And Explain how 2-Phase
locking protocol works?
How to detect deadlock using Distributed Deadlock Detection Algorithm
How to detect deadlock using Centralized Controller

explain in detail about it.
