Q.1. Explain about the Advantages and disadvantages of Time Stamp Ordering Protocol
with suitable example.

Q.2 What are various techniques of recovery with concurrent transactions? Explain in
details.

Q.3 Consider the following two transactions:

T31: read(A);
read(B);
if A=0 then B:=B+1;
Write(B)
T32: read(B);
read(A);
if B=0 then A:=A+1;
Write(A)
Add lock and unlock instructions to transactions T31 and T32 , so that they
observe the two-phase locking protocol. Can the execution of these transactions result
in a deadlock.

Q.5 Explain about the implicit and explicit cursor and how both are different from each
