Disclosed herein are embodiments for performing multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) in non-volatile memory. An embodiment operates by determining that an event occurred, wherein one or more write transactions to one or more records of a multi-version database that were pending prior to the event did not commit. The one or more write transactions are identified based on a commit value that was stored in the non-volatile memory prior to the event. A particular one of the identified uncommitted write transactions is selected. From the multi-version database, a first version of a record corresponding to the selected uncommitted write transaction that was not committed, and an earlier version of the record that was committed prior to the event are identified. A visibility of the record is set to indicate that the earlier version of the record is visible and the first version of the record is not visible.
