How Transactions Work
A transaction can be performed by the SQL user, the program, or in some instances, by the DBMS Server itself.
The transaction performs the following actions:
• The transaction begins with the first SQL statement following a CONNECT, COMMIT, or ROLLBACK statement.
• The transaction continues until there is an explicit COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement, or until the session terminates. (Terminating the session or disconnecting from the database issues an implicit COMMIT statement.)
