What is the difference between transaction and query?


QUERY:
A query is a single SQL statement that does Select, Update, Insert or Delete of rows.


Transaction:
A transaction is a consecutive sequence of SQL statements (from the application viewpoint) that have the "ACID" properties:
  • Atomicity: All statements or none are executed.
  • Consistency: Data integrity is always maintained.
  • Isolation: Transaction A can never affect Transaction B.
  • Durability: Changes that are committed by a transaction persist, even in event of system failure.
