## Overview

Implement robust transaction management with ACID compliance, concurrency control, and error handling. Covers isolation levels, locking strategies, and deadlock resolution.

## When to Use

- ACID transaction implementation
- Concurrent data modification handling
- Isolation level selection
- Deadlock prevention and resolution
- Transaction timeout configuration
- Distributed transaction coordination
- Financial transaction safety

## Quick Start

**Simple Transaction:**

```sql
-- Start transaction
BEGIN;

-- Multiple statements
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance - 100 WHERE id = 1;
UPDATE accounts SET balance = balance + 100 WHERE id = 2;

-- Commit changes
COMMIT;

-- Or rollback
ROLLBACK;
```
