Automatic Verification and Tuning of Transaction-based Database Applications

In this paper, we suggest a system which automatically verifies and tunes transaction processing database applications based on program analysis technology. This system automatically verifies two kinds of transaction processing errors. The first case is the un-closed transaction. In this case, data is not updated as expected or performance of overall system can decrease seriously by locking some database tables until the process terminates. The second case is the miss-use of transaction isolation(inking) level. This causes runtime exception or abnormal termination of the program depending on runtime environment. This system automatically tunes two kinds of inefficient definition of transaction processing which decrease the performance of overall system. The first case happens when opened transaction is closed too late. And the second case happens when transaction isolation level is set too high.
