Transactions in Access and SQL Server

Microsoft® Access and Microsoft SQL Server™ share two types of transactions.

SQL Server also offers a third type of transaction.

If you are issuing a script through SQL Server Query Analyzer or other query tools, you can either include the explicit BEGIN TRANSACTION statement, or start the script with the SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON statement.

SQL Server also offers the SAVE TRANSACTION statement. It sets a savepoint in the transaction, allowing partial rollbacks.
