Transaction Management

Go Up to Primary InterBase Features

Client applications can start multiple simultaneous transactions. InterBase provides full and explicit transaction control for starting, committing, and rolling back transactions. The statements and functions that control starting a transaction also control transaction behavior.

InterBase transactions can be isolated from changes made by other concurrent transactions. For the life of these transactions, the database appears to be unchanged except for the changes made by the transaction. Records deleted by another transaction exist, newly stored records do not appear to exist, and updated records remain in the original state.
