How a transaction is implemented as a queue hang

[liangzhuang327]

Generally speaking, the above requirements mean that any transaction which has an overlapping scope with a read/write transaction and which was created after that read/write transaction, can’t run in parallel with that read/write transaction.（Mentioned in W3C）

And my question is : How does indexedDB do to suspend the remaining transactions when multiple read/write transactions are opened at the same time? Is it done with the browser's Event Loop?

The transaction processing model is somewhat underspecified (and has been the case since the initial IDB spec); the relevant text is in https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/#transaction-scheduling and https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/#transaction-lifecycle which rather informally defines the preconditions for a transaction to start.

Ideally, the spec would define transaction scheduling e.g. as a parallel queue. The steps are not run synchronously with any agent's (document's/worker's) event queue.

PRs that firm up transaction behavior here would be welcome.
