Transaction

Control Language
(TCL) in MySQL
MySQL's TCL offers commands to manage the atomicity, consistency,
isolation, and durability (ACID) properties of database transactions.
Understanding these commands is crucial for ensuring data integrity
and reliability.
The COMMIT Statement
The COMMIT statement in MySQL permanently saves all changes made within a transaction to the database. It marks the
successful completion of a transaction.

Purpose Syntax
Committing changes ensures the changes are The basic syntax is: COMMIT;
permanent, preventing data loss in case of unexpected
issues.
Importance of Transaction Management
Transaction management is vital for maintaining data integrity, consistency, and reliability in database systems.

1 Atomicity 2 Consistency
All changes within a transaction are treated as a single Transactions ensure data remains consistent by adhering
unit; either all changes are applied or none. to predefined rules and constraints.

3 Isolation 4 Durability
Concurrent transactions are isolated from each other, Once a transaction commits, the changes are permanent
preventing interference and maintaining data integrity. and persist even in the event of system failures.
Best Practices for Using COMMIT
Using COMMIT effectively enhances the reliability and efficiency of your database applications.

Commit Frequently 1
Commit changes frequently to avoid losing significant work
in case of unexpected errors or system failures.
2 Avoid Unnecessary COMMITs
Unnecessary COMMITs can impact performance, so only
commit when necessary.
Use ROLLBACK for Errors 3
If an error occurs during a transaction, use ROLLBACK to
undo all changes and maintain consistency.
