Introduction to Snapshots and Tuple Visibility in PostgreSQL
Like many relational DBMSs, PostgreSQL uses multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) to support parallel running transactions and coordinate parallel access to tuples. Snapshots are used to determine which version of a tuple is visible in which transaction. Each transaction that modifies data, has a transaction ID (txid). Tuples are stored together with two attributes (xmin, xmax) that determine in which snapshots (and in which transactions) they are visible. This blog post discusses some of the implementation details of snapshots.
