Transactions – What Are They
• Transactions are an error handling and
recovery mechanism. If nothing goes wrong,
you don’t need them.
• Eventually, something will go wrong.
• When something does go wrong, or you say
“Ooops, I don’t want to do this after all.”

The transaction manager graciously puts
everything back the way it was, just as if
nothing had ever happened.
