ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 — Question 28 of 80

Transaction Support in DBMS — ensures atomicity of database operations.

The main purpose of transaction support is to guarantee that either all updates in a transaction are applied, or none are — this is the Atomicity property of ACID.

Why not others:
- (b) — describes access control / authorization, not transaction management

- (c) — describes a GUI front-end, unrelated to transactions

- (d) — describes a data dictionary / catalog for storing metadata

Key rule: Transaction support = ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability). The defining feature is "all or nothing."
