Database Transactions
12 min read
Trillions of SQL database transactions execute daily. A transaction is an atomic sequence of read, create, update, and delete actions. MySQL and Postgres use `begin;` and `commit;` commands. The `rollback;` command intentionally undoes partially-executed transactions. Postgres uses write-ahead log (WAL) for disaster recovery.
