  • Patent number: 11468045
    Abstract: Techniques of transaction support for a database are disclosed herein. One example technique includes generating a new version value for key-value pairs in the database and creating, in the database, a new key-value pair corresponding to a parameter to be updated with a new value using both the generated new version value and a name of the parameter as a key and the new value as the corresponding value for the created new key-value pair. The example technique can then include determining whether creating the new key-value pair is completed successfully in the database, and in response to determining that creating the new key-value pair corresponding to the parameter is not completed successfully, the existing value of the parameter is returned as a current value of the parameter instead of the new value in response to a query for the current value of the parameter.
