Transaction Control

Transaction control refers to managing a series of related computer operations, called a transaction, to ensure data stays accurate and consistent. Imagine making multiple changes to a database—transaction control allows these changes to be completed entirely or not at all. If an error occurs, the system can roll back all changes, preventing partial updates that could cause problems. This process guarantees data integrity, especially in critical applications like banking or online shopping, by making sure that transactions are completed correctly or not at all.
