Description: Transaction management is the process of managing operations that affect data in a database system, ensuring the integrity and consistency of information. This process is fundamental in environments where multiple users or applications interact with data simultaneously. Transaction management is based on four key properties known as ACID: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Atomicity ensures that a transaction is completed in its entirety or not at all, preventing intermediate states. Consistency ensures that data remains in a valid state before and after the transaction. Isolation allows transactions to execute independently, avoiding interference between them. Finally, durability ensures that once a transaction has been confirmed, its effects are permanent, even in the event of system failures. Transaction management is essential for various applications, such as banking systems and other environments where data accuracy and reliability are paramount. Without proper transaction management, systems can face issues of data corruption, inconsistencies, and information loss, which can have serious consequences for organizations and their users.
