All or Nothing: DuckDB Transaction Guarantee

Code example: All or Nothing: DuckDB Transaction Guarantee

Problem

Data operations can fail partway through, leaving databases in inconsistent states.

Money transfers, inventory updates, and other critical operations need guaranteed atomicity.

Solution

DuckDB uses ACID transactions to maintain data integrity. Operations either complete fully or roll back completely using BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK commands.

Why ACID transactions matter:

  • Atomicity: prevents half-completed operations
  • Consistency: maintains database integrity rules
  • Isolation: stops concurrent operations from conflicting
  • Durability: ensures committed data survives system failures
