Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DBMSs use locking to ensure that only one user at a time can access and modify data to prevent concurrent updates that could cause inconsistencies. This allows for serial processing of updates, as each transaction waits for the preceding transaction to release its locks before proceeding. Backups, encryption, and reversing are not directly related to serial processing of updates in DBMSs.
