### 1. The 3 Hidden Row Columns in InnoDB 🕵️

Har table row ke sath InnoDB 3 internal hidden fields attach karta hai:
1. **`DB_TRX_ID` (6 Bytes):** Row ko insert/update karne wali last transaction ka ID.
2. **`DB_ROLL_PTR` (7 Bytes):** Undo Log me purane row version ki taraf point karne wala roll pointer.
3. **`DB_ROW_ID` (6 Bytes):** Auto-generated row ID (agar table me explicit Primary Key na ho).

```
[ Current Row: Bal=$150, TRX_ID=105 ] ──(DB_ROLL_PTR)──► [ Undo Log: Bal=$100, TRX_ID=102 ] ──► [ Bal=$50, TRX_ID=98 ]
```

### 2. Read View Visibility Rules

Jab transaction Read View banati hai:
*   `low_limit_id`: Max transaction ID jo future me aayegi (Uncommitted, invisible).
*   `up_limit_id`: Sabse chhota active uncommitted transaction ID (Anything smaller is committed & visible).
*   `trx_ids`: Currently active running transactions list.

### 3. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **"Reads never block Writes, and Writes never block Reads" MySQL me kaise possible hota hai?** -> MVCC ke through (Reader undo log se historical row snapshot read karta hai bina row par lock acquire kiye, jabki writer latest row modify kar raha hota hai).
2. **Purane Undo Logs disk se kab purge hote hain?** -> Jab koi bhi active transaction ka Read View us historical snapshot version ko reference na kar raha ho (Purge thread cleans them).
3. **Long-running transactions database RAM/Disk space kyu exhaust kar deti hain?** -> Kyunki unka open Read View Undo Log purge thread ko block kar deta hai jisse Undo log tablespace GBs tak explode ho jata hai.
