the processing of small fixed queries which access one or perhaps a few records in a database.
The process enabling the clearing of purchases in an electronic environment such as the Internet. In the case of E-xact, we provide a means to process credit card transactions.

The type of ‘real time’ data processing system which handles one transaction at a time. The system ensures that other users are locked out of the records being used, so that when a transaction is completed it is secure.
Data processing used to efficiently record business activities, called transactions, that are of interest to an organisation (for example, sales, orders for supplies, or money transfers). Typically, online transaction processing (OLTP) systems perform large numbers of relatively small transactions.
See also: Real Time Processing A type of computer processing in which the computer responds immediately to user requests. Each request is considered to be a transaction. Automatic teller machines for banks are an example of transaction processing. The opposite of transaction processing is batch processing. Transaction processing requires interaction with a user, whereas batch processing can take place without a user being present.
the problem of performing multiple operations against a database in such a way as to assure that errors don't occur because of interrupted operations or conflicts between simultaneous users. Creating a highly dependable transaction processing system without incurring a substantial performance penalty is one of the foremost challenges in building successful applications of large, dynamic databases. (The Base/1 Foundation Component Library includes integrated transaction processing features.)
A mode of database processing that supports the creation, and saving (commit) or undoing (rollback) of transactions.
In batch or remote batch processing, the processing of a job or job step-in interactive processing, an exchange between a terminal and another device that does a particular action; for example, the entry of a customer's deposit and the updating of the customer's balance.
In computer science, transaction processing is information processing that is divided into individual, indivisible operations, called transactions. Each transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit; it cannot remain in an intermediate state.
