Serializable Schedule

A Serializable Schedule in database management is a way to organize transactions (or operations) so that the final outcome is the same as if those transactions were executed one after another, without overlapping. This means that even if the transactions are run at the same time, it preserves data integrity and consistency. Essentially, it ensures that the results of complex interactions between transactions remain predictable and reliable, preventing issues like lost updates or inconsistent reads. This is crucial in environments where multiple users or processes access and modify shared data simultaneously.
