Use transactions to manage how changes are committed to a geodatabase.
Transactions allow you to control how changes are added to a database. This is useful to ensure that when multiple changes are made to a database, they all succeed or fail at once. For example, you could have a business rule that both parent/guardian and student must be added to a database used for calculating school bus routes. You can use transactions to avoid breaking the business rule if you lose power while between the steps of adding the student and parent/guardian.
