MongoDB Transactions
Learn about ACID transactions in MongoDB and how they guarantee certain database operations happen together or not at all to ensure data integrity within the database.
MongoDB Transactions
Unit Overview
In this unit, you'll learn about ACID transactions in MongoDB. ACID transactions guarantee that certain database operations, such as the transfer of value from one account to another, succeed together or do not happen not at all. This ensures the integrity of the data in a database. We'll begin with an introduction to ACID transactions. Then, we'll explore how ACID transactions work with the document model in MongoDB. Finally, we'll cover how to create and cancel multi-document transactions in MongoDB.
