Transaction Management plays the key role in any type of database system. In order to make the Application Query, many protocols have been designed. In this paper, we have developed very efficient and enhanced the Three Phase Commit Protocol (3PC), after studying the drawback of 2PC. In 2PC, we observed that if two side transaction will perform in 2PC(i.e., one side called sender and other side called a receiver). When sender side communicates with the receiver side in the form of performing initial values prepare for commit or abort message. They have the some possibilities both sides that are, case 1- if the sender side sends the commit data to receiver side that may commit both sides. Case 2- if the sender side sends the data but data will abort to the sender side and the receiver side also data will abort. Case 3- if the sender side sends the commit data to receiver side but receiver side data will abort. Case 4- if the sender side sends the commit data but receiver side, will not ensure that at a time data will commit or abort. Overall, according to all possibilities, we have four cases which are applied. We investigated that data is not sure from both side (sender side and receiver side). In this paper we also observed that if 3PC will use such type of cases then it will avoid blocking problems, because after abort/failed the data of 2PC protocol. Data are blocked and reduced the blocking problem through 3PC techniques. It has one active data for backup, if failed/abort the data to both sides. It has stored and adds multiple sites for decision pays for committing not for abort. It is called pre-commit decision process and record of the data are stored in multiple sites (i.e., K sites), and we also implemented 3PC Algorithm in this paper.
