beginnerWhat Is a Transaction?
Is a single INSERT statement a transaction?
Yes — most databases wrap every individual statement in an implicit transaction if you haven't started one explicitly (this is called "autocommit mode," covered in Chapter 06). A transaction can contain exactly one operation or hundreds; the concept doesn't require multiple statements.
