Final answer:

Conflict serializability is stricter than view serializability and requires preserving the order of conflicting operations in the database schedules, which is not a requirement for view serializability, making the former less tolerant to unconstrained writes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conflict serializability is stricter than view serializability. With unconstrained write (or blind write), a schedule that is view serializable is not necessarily conflict serializable. In the context of database systems, conflict serializability and view serializability are two criteria used to determine if a schedule (the order in which transactions are executed) is correct in the sense that it will maintain the database's consistency. Conflict serializability is the stricter of the two and requires that if two transactions conflict on some operation, they must be ordered in the same way in both the schedule and any serial schedule which preserves the consistency of the database. View serializability, on the other hand, is less stringent and only requires that transactions yield the same final state of the database as a serial execution, without necessarily preserving the order of conflicting operations.
