txn-db 0.5.0

MVCC transaction engine for Rust storage layers. Snapshot isolation and serializable transactions with multi-version concurrency control, conflict detection, and a durable transaction log on wal-db. The transaction layer for embedded databases and Hive DB.
Documentation
//! Property tests for serializable isolation.
//!
//! These cover the v0.3 SSI exit criterion: no anomaly that serializability
//! forbids slips through. The headline case is write skew — two transactions
//! that each read a shared pair and write the half the other read, which plain
//! snapshot isolation allows and serializable isolation must reject.
//!
//! The whole file is gated on the `serializable` feature.
