Transactional memory in Clojure is implemented using Multiversion Concurrency Control protocol

MVCC is the concurrency protocol used in many mainstream database systems including Oracle, Sybase, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, and MySQL/InnoDB.
"write skew anomaly" can happen in case of MVCC because MVCC makes a copy
of the isolated transaction status,
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapshot_isolation for a good example, and
