Dredging through some old run logs, 12 dbt-5 clients gave the following when everything was run under SSI (fully serializable, even the transactions that allow repeatable read isolation). Not sure how that translates to your results. Abort rates were admittedly rather high, though perhaps lower than what you report.

Hi Ryan,
That's a very good point. We are looking at dbt5. One question: what throughput 
rate, and how many threads of execution did you use for dbt5?  The failure 
rates I reported were at ~120 tps with 15 trade-result threads.

Thanks,
Reza

Hi Craig,

According to the attached SQL, each frame is a separate phase in the
operation and performs many different operations.
There's a *lot* going on here, so identifying possible
interdependencies isn't something I can do in a ten minute skim read over
my morning coffee.
You didn't think I was going to bug you all with a trivial problem,
did you? :-) :-)

Yes, I am going to have to take an axe to the code and see what pops out.
Just to put this in perspective, the transaction flow and its statements are
borrowed verbatim from the TPC-E benchmark. There have been dozens of
TPC-E disclosures with MS SQL Server, and there are Oracle and DB2 kits that,
although not used in public disclosures for various non-technical reasons, are
used internally in by the DB and server companies. These 3 products, and
perhaps more, were used extensively in the prototyping phase of TPC-E.
So, my hope is that if there is a "previously unidentified interdependency
between transactions" as you point out, it will be due to a mistake we made
in coding this for PGSQL. Otherwise, we will have a hard time convincing all
the council member companies that we need to change the schema or the
business logic to make the kit work with PGSQL.
Just pointing out my uphill battle!!
You might compare against dbt-5 [1], just to see if the same problem occurs. I
didn't notice such high abort rates when I ran that workload a few weeks
ago. Just make sure to use the latest commit, because the "released" version
has fatal bugs.
