Abstract
Disclosed is a concurrency control method and related system for permitting the correct execution of multiple concurrent transactions, each comprising one or more read and/or write operations, in a heterogeneous distributed database system. Read and write operations are processed at the required sites if no site cycles are detected. If any site cycles are detected in a read operation, then new sites are searched for. If any site cycle is detected for any of the sites for a write operation, then the transaction is aborted.
