.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This command begins a user transaction which Postgres will guarantee is
|
|
serializable with respect to all concurrently executing transactions.
|
|
Postgres uses two-phase locking to perform this task. If the transaction
|
|
is committed, Postgres will ensure that all updates are done or none of
|
|
them are done. Transactions have the standard ACID (atomic,
|
|
consistent, isolatable, and durable) property.
