Abstract
A transaction is a “bubble” around any piece of work affecting the state of a database or, indeed, of more than one database. A user process starts a transaction and the same user process finishes it. Because user processes come in many shapes and sizes, every transaction is configurable. The mandatory and optional properties of a transaction are important parts of any transaction context.
