sqliteHow do I begin a transaction in SQLite?

To begin a transaction in SQLite, you must use the BEGIN TRANSACTION command. This command will start a new transaction and will allow you to execute a series of SQL commands as a single unit.

For example, the following code will start a new transaction and insert two records into the users table:

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('John', 25);
INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('Jane', 30);
COMMIT;

This code will execute without any output.

The code consists of the following parts:

• BEGIN TRANSACTION; - This starts a new transaction.
• INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('John', 25); - This inserts a new record into the users table.
• INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('Jane', 30); - This inserts a second record into the users table.
• COMMIT; - This commits the changes and ends the transaction.

For more information, please refer to the SQLite documentation.
