What is a Transaction and why is it important?

Entry MS SQL
Quick Answer A transaction is a group of SQL operations treated as one unit. Either all succeed and commit, or all fail and roll back. This prevents half-done operations from corrupting your data Ò€” like a bank transfer where money leaves one account but never arrives in another.

Answer

A transaction ensures a group of SQL operations is treated as a single unitβ€”either all succeed or all fail (ACID compliance).
