 # TiDB Optimistic Transaction Model
 
-With optimistic transactions, conflicting changes are detected as part of a transaction commit. This helps improve the performance when concurrent transactions are infrequently modifying the same rows, because the process of acquiring row locks can be skipped. In the case that concurrent transactions frequently modify the same rows (a conflict), optimistic transactions may perform worse than [Pessimistic Transactions](/pessimistic-transaction.md).

 Before enabling optimistic transactions, make sure that your application correctly handles that a `COMMIT` statement could return errors. If you are unsure of how your application handles this, it is recommended to instead use Pessimistic Transactions.

It is recommended to use the [Pessimistic transaction mode](/pessimistic-transaction.md). If you encounter optimistic transaction conflicts, you can capture the error and retry transactions in your application.
 
-In the optimistic transaction model, transactions might fail to be committed because of write–write conflict in heavy contention scenarios. TiDB uses optimistic concurrency control by default, whereas MySQL applies pessimistic concurrency control. This means that MySQL adds locks during the execution of write-type SQL statements, and its Repeatable Read isolation level allows for current reads, so commits generally do not encounter exceptions. To lower the difficulty of adapting applications, TiDB provides an internal retry mechanism.
