Blind write

In computing, a blind write, also known as a write-only transaction, occurs when a transaction writes a value without reading it.^[1] 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).^{[citation needed]}

Blind writes can cause anomalies if multiple different blind write transactions are executed at the same time.^[2]

Any view serializable schedule that is not conflict serializable must contain a blind write.^[3]
