Blind write

Template:Short description In computing, a blind write, also known as a write-only transaction, occurs when a transaction writes a value without reading it. In particular, a write w_i(X) is said to be blind if it is not the last action of resource X and the following action on X is a write w_j(X).

Blind writes can cause anomalies if multiple different blind write transactions are executed at the same time.

Any view serializable schedule that is not conflict serializable must contain a blind write.
