{{Short description|Concurrency control method}}
'''Optimistic concurrency control''' ('''OCC'''), also known as '''optimistic locking''', is a [[concurrency control]] method applied to transactional systems such as [[relational database management systems]] and [[software transactional memory]]. OCC assumes that multiple transactions can frequently complete without interfering with each other. While running, transactions use data resources without acquiring locks on those resources. Before committing, each transaction verifies that no other transaction has modified the data it has read. If the check reveals conflicting modifications, the committing transaction rolls back and can be restarted.<ref>{{cite book | title = Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development | first = Rohit | last = Johnson | publisher = Wrox Press | year = 2003 | isbn = 978-0-7645-4385-2 | chapter = Common Data Access Issues | chapter-url = http://learning.infocollections.com/ebook%202/Computer/Programming/Java/Expert_One-on-One_J2EE_Design_and_Development/6266final/LiB0080.html | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20111008203709/http://learning.infocollections.com/ebook%202/Computer/Programming/Java/Expert_One-on-One_J2EE_Design_and_Development/6266final/LiB0080.html | archive-date = 8 October 2011}}</ref> Optimistic concurrency control was first proposed by [[H.
