MySQL Default Behavior for Data Manipulation Statements
MySQL is an open-source relational database that can handle large quantities of data. When managing and manipulating a MySQL database, you must include data manipulation statements such as INSERT/UPDATE, DELETE, and UPDATE. MySQL is built to handle the common functions of transactional databases, such as locking tables and performing data manipulation statements to maintain data consistency. MySQL will perform the appropriate actions in order to preserve the integrity of data stored within the database when a data manipulator statement is executed. Before executing an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE command on MySQL servers, it will lock all relevant records. This protects against data inconsistency or race conditions when performing read-write operations. MySQL will, for instance, allocate enough space to the table in order to store new data. MySQL also performs data integrity checks (Abbott (2015)). A UPDATE statement can modify existing data according to predetermined criteria, while a DELETE statement will delete the pertinent data. The server also records any data changes in the log file (Arora 2021). This is useful in recovering applications that have crashed or when they restart unexpectedly. MySQL offers a variety of options to make sure data is stored correctly, retrieved, and maintained during data manipulations. R. Abbott (2015). MySQL: The Complete Guide. Apress. Arora, A. (2021).
