Transaction Management/Evidence
Method evidence record

Transaction Management

Transaction management is the mechanism by which database systems ensure reliable execution of multiple interdependent operations as atomic units. Formalized by Jim Gray and colleagues in the 1980s, transactions guarantee ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) that protect data integrity even in the face of failures and concurrent access.
