Introduction to

Transactions in
DBMS
Transactions represent a sequence of operations performed as a
single logical unit of work. They're crucial for maintaining data
integrity in a Database Management System (DBMS).
Understanding transactions helps ensure reliability during data
processing.

ACID Properties of Transactions
1 Atomicity 2 Consistency
Transactions are all-or-nothing. If one part fails, Transactions must bring the database from one
the entire transaction fails. valid state to another.

3 Isolation 4 Durability
Transactions should not interfere with each Once a transaction is committed, it remains so,
other, maintaining independence. even after power loss.
Bank Account Example for Transactions
1 Step 1: Initiate Transaction
A user initiates a transfer between bank accounts.

2 Step 2: Execute Operations


The system debits one account and credits another.

3 Step 3: Commit Transaction


If successful, both operations are committed and the user is notified.
