The Wait-Die Scheme is a deadlock prevention mechanism used in database systems to manage concurrent transactions by allowing older transactions to wait while aborting younger ones if a conflict arises. This approach helps in maintaining system consistency and preventing resource starvation by ensuring that older transactions are prioritized over newer ones in case of a deadlock scenario.

Database systems are structured collections of data managed by software to facilitate efficient storage, retrieval, and manipulation of information. They form the backbone of modern applications by ensuring data integrity, security, and scalability across various use cases from small-scale applications to enterprise-level solutions.
