Transactions in SQL

Introduction

A collection of one or more SQL statements that communicate with a database is known as a SQL transaction. A transaction on a table is, for instance, when a record is added to, updated, or deleted from it. Transactions in SQL are crucial for preserving database integrity in cases of concurrent execution of multiple related operations or concurrent interactions with the database. Every transaction starts with a particular task and finishes when every task in the group is successfully completed. A single task failure causes the entire transaction to fail. A transaction can therefore only have one of two outcomes: success or failure.
