Transactions' Importance:Users can submit transaction and can think of each transaction as executing by itself.A transaction might commit after completing all its actions, or it could abort(or be aborted by the DBMS) after executing some actions.
any change in database is called transaction.
A DBMS is typically shared among many users. Transactions from these users can be interleaved to improve the execution time of users' queries. By interleaving queries, users do not have to wait for other user's transactions to complete fully before their own transaction begins. Without interleaving, if user A begins a transaction that will take 10 seconds to complete, and user B wants to begin a transaction, user B would have to wait an additional 10 seconds for user A's transaction to complete before the database would begin processing user B's request.
An accounting transaction is the exchange of request/response messages to perform accounting. Accounting can be performed in the form of accounting transactions that report on resource usage by a session. Accounting transaction can occur during a session if accounting or charging indications are needed [pol based acct] or only at the start and the end of the session. http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:EcDJEY4QjJAJ:www.aaaarch.org/doc09/session_id-29nov2000.doc+%22accounting+transaction+is+the%22&hl=id&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=id A transaction is an execution of a user program and is seen by the DBMS as a series or list of actions.The actions that can be executed by a transaction includes the reading and writing of database.
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. Transaction mandatorily requires acknowledgment to get received as a necessary feedback for accomplishment.Transaction processing is designed to maintain a computer system (typically a database or some modern filesystems) in a known, consistent state, by ensuring that any operations carried out on the system that are interdependent are either all completed successfully or all canceled successfully.For example, consider a typical banking transaction that involves moving $700 from a customer's savings account to a customer's checking account. This transaction is a single operation in the eyes of the bank, but it involves at least two separate operations in computer terms: debiting the savings account by $700, and crediting the checking account by $700. If the debit operation succeeds but the credit does not (or vice versa), the books of the bank will not balance at the end of the day. There must therefore be a way to ensure that either both operations succeed or both fail, so that there is never any inconsistency in the bank's database as a whole. Transaction processing is designed to provide this.Transaction processing allows multiple individual operations to be linked together automatically as a single, indivisible transaction. The transaction-processing system ensures that either all operations in a transaction are completed without error, or none of them are. If some of the operations are completed but errors occur when the others are attempted, the transaction-processing system "rolls back" all of the operations of the transaction (including the successful ones), thereby erasing all traces of the transaction and restoring the system to the consistent, known state that it was in before processing of the transaction began. If all operations of a transaction are completed successfully, the transaction is committed by the system, and all changes to the database are made permanent; the transaction cannot be rolled back once this is done.Transaction processing guards against hardware and software errors that might leave a transaction partially completed, with the system left in an unknown, inconsistent state. If the computer system crashes in the middle of a transaction, the transaction processing system guarantees that all operations in any uncommitted (i.e., not completely processed) transactions are cancelled.Transactions are processed in a strict chronological order. If transaction n+1 intends to touch the same portion of the database as transaction n, transaction n+1 does not begin until transaction n is committed. Before any transaction is committed, all other transactions affecting the same part of the system must also be committed; there can be no "holes" in the sequence of preceding transactions.

Relational set operators in dbms uses algebra to manipulates contents in a data base. there are many different operation in Dbms ,they are :- 1.Union 2.intersect 3.Product 4.select 5.Project 6.divide
schedule is an interleaving of action from a set of transactions where the action of any transaction is in the original order.
There is no set limit (at least, in any of the DBMS I'm aware of), however as there is a limit as to the number of columns a table can have (said limit varying from DBMS to DBMS), there is a theoretical limit. That said, in practical terms, a table can have as many as it needs. However, performance of inserts/changes/deletes may suffer if an excessive number is present, since referential integrity must be checked on each.
Conflict equivalence- Two schedules are conflict equivalent if the order of any two conflicting operations is same in both the two schedules. View equivalence- Two schedules are view equivalent if - 1) Both the schedules have same set of transactions. 2) If in a schedule a read operation r1[X] of transaction T1 reads the value of X written by a write operation w2[x] of transaction T2 or reads the original value of x,then this must also be the case in the other schedule. 3)If operation w3[Y] of a transaction is the last operation to write the value of Y in schedule S then it must also be the last transaction in the other schedule to do so. All conflict serializable schedules are view serializable. But all view serializable schedules are not conflict serializable.
DBMS (Database Management Systems) typically overcome TFBS (Transaction Failure Before System) by using transaction management techniques such as ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability). These ensure that transactions are either fully completed or reverted to their original state in case of failure, maintaining data integrity. Additionally, DBMS often implement logging and recovery mechanisms to help recover the database state in case of unexpected failures.
Durability is the part of recovery system ,it has response to recover the failure data,it also comes under transaction managment
