= Transactions
IMPORTANT: Support for link:transactions/mvcc[SQL transactions] is currently in the beta stage. For production use, consider key-value transactions.
Ignite supports the following statements that allow users to start, commit, or rollback a transaction.
[source,sql]
----
BEGIN [TRANSACTION]
COMMIT [TRANSACTION]
ROLLBACK [TRANSACTION]
----
- The `BEGIN` statement begins a new transaction.
- `COMMIT` commits the current transaction.
- `ROLLBACK` rolls back the current transaction.
NOTE: DDL statements are not supported inside transactions.
== Description
The `BEGIN`, `COMMIT` and `ROLLBACK` commands allow you to manage SQL Transactions. A transaction is a sequence of SQL operations that starts with the `BEGIN` statement and ends with the `COMMIT` statement. Either all of the operations in a transaction succeed or they all fail.
The `ROLLBACK [TRANSACTION]` statement undoes all updates made since the last time a `COMMIT` or `ROLLBACK` command was issued.
== Example
Add a person and update the city population by 1 in a single transaction.
[source,sql]
----
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO Person (id, name, city_id) VALUES (1, 'John Doe', 3);
UPDATE City SET population = population + 1 WHERE id = 3;
COMMIT;
----
Roll back the changes made by the previous commands.
[source,sql]
----
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO Person (id, name, city_id) VALUES (1, 'John Doe', 3);
UPDATE City SET population = population + 1 WHERE id = 3;
