Transactions and ACID properties support treating the two account updates as one atomic operation.
1. Atomic updates
Why should a transfer between two accounts be a transaction?
The debit and credit must succeed together. If either operation fails, rolling back the transaction prevents a half-completed transfer. BEGIN establishes the group; COMMIT accepts its changes; ROLLBACK cancels them. Business checks, such as sufficient funds, still need to be implemented.
ACID Properties ll DBMS ll Atomicity,Consistency,Isolation,Durability Explained in Hindi

The ACID-properties lecture covers the atomicity and durability concepts being compared.
2. Durability versus atomicity
Are atomicity and durability the same promise?
No. Atomicity means a transaction takes effect as a whole or not at all. Durability means an acknowledged committed result survives a later crash under the system’s durability guarantees. Correct recovery and storage behavior are needed in addition to grouping SQL statements.

Transaction states give rollback and commit context. No extracted title specifically teaches SAVEPOINT; use the written answer and reference for that command.
3. Savepoint example
What can a savepoint do inside a long transaction?
It marks an intermediate position. ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT cancels changes after that position while keeping earlier changes in the still-open transaction. It does not independently commit the earlier work; a later rollback of the whole transaction cancels that work too.
