sqliteHow can I use a SQLite transaction example?


A SQLite transaction is a way to ensure data consistency and integrity when making changes to a database. It allows multiple changes to be grouped together and either all changes are applied or none are applied.

Below is an example of a SQLite transaction:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;

UPDATE table_name
SET field_name = 'some_value'
WHERE condition;

INSERT INTO table_name (field_name)
VALUES ('some_value');

COMMIT;

The code above begins a transaction, updates a field in a table, inserts a new record into a table, and then commits the transaction.

The list below explains the parts of the code:

  • BEGIN TRANSACTION; - starts the transaction
  • UPDATE table_name - updates a field in a table
  • SET field_name = 'some_value' - sets the field to a specific value
  • WHERE condition; - specifies the condition for the update
  • INSERT INTO table_name (field_name) - inserts a new record into a table
  • VALUES ('some_value'); - sets the value of the field
  • COMMIT; - commits the transaction

No output is generated from the example above.
