cftransaction Code Examples and CFML Documentation

cftransaction

Instructs the database management system to treat multiple
database operations as a single transaction. Provides database
commit and rollback processing.
Note that distributed transactions (transactions across multiple datasources) are not supported - you must commit one transaction and begin a separate transaction to one database before writing a query to another (CFMX7 Manual)
