Ensuring Transaction Integrity

Describes how you can ensure transaction integrity at the application and data source levels.

You are familiar with individual data source operations that insert, update, or delete data source segment instances. However, most applications are concerned with real-world transactions, like transferring funds or fulfilling a sales order, that each requires several data source operations. These data source operations may access several data sources, and may be issued from several procedures. We call such a collection of data source operations a logical transaction (it is also known as a logical unit of work).
