Transaction durability guarantees the ability to recover committed transactions from failures. However, making every transaction durable impacts transaction processing performance. Some ad-hoc durability mechanisms (e.g., delayed durability) improve performance, but they risk transactions losing their effects due to failures. The current one-size-fits-all transaction durability model does not solve this problem.

We propose a new generalized transaction durability model to trade-off performance and durability and argue that transactions should also provide flexible durability like they provide multiple isolation levels. We evaluate the performance of a modified PostgreSQL that supports the new durability model using a micro-benchmark to show the durability/performance trade-offs.
