Changeset can see as Database Transaction

A database transaction is a logical unit of work that consists of one or more database operations, such as insertions, updates, or deletions of data. The main purpose of a transaction is to ensure data consistency and integrity by making sure that all the operations in the transaction are either completed successfully or not at all.

In other words, a transaction guarantees that all the database changes made within the transaction are either committed (made permanent) or rolled back (undone) in case of a failure or error, ensuring that the database remains in a consistent state.

Transactions have the following key properties, commonly referred to as ACID properties:

  1. Atomicity: Transactions are atomic, meaning they are treated as a single unit of work that either succeeds completely or fails completely.
  2. Consistency: Transactions maintain database consistency by ensuring that data is always in a valid state, according to the defined rules and constraints.
  3. Isolation: Transactions are isolated from each other, so that each transaction can operate independently of other transactions without affecting the outcome of other transactions.
  4. Durability: Transactions ensure that once a transaction is committed, its changes are permanent and cannot be undone by subsequent failures or errors.

Database transactions are a fundamental concept in database systems, and are widely used in applications that require reliable and consistent data management, such as financial systems, e-commerce, and inventory management.
