US Patent 10282228 Log-based transaction constraint management

A transaction request is received at a log-based transaction manager, indicating a logical constraint to be satisfied before the corresponding transaction is committed. The transaction manager identifies a subset of transaction records stored in a persistent change log that are to be examined to evaluate the logical constraint. Based at least in part on the result of a comparison of one or more constraint-related data signatures included in the transaction request with corresponding data signatures in the subset of transaction records, a decision is made to commit the requested transaction.
