8.1 Transaction Handling

8.1.1 Processing Warnings

8.1.2 Error Handling

Transactions can be used to group operations into an atomic unit. Either all operations of a transaction succeed when they are committed, or none. It is possible to roll back a transaction as long as it has not been committed.

Transactions can be started in a session using the startTransaction() method, committed with commitTransaction() and cancelled or rolled back with rollbackTransaction(). This is illustrated in the following example. The example assumes that the test schema exists and that the collection my_collection does not exist.
