What are explicit and implicit transactions?..

Answer / lara

When a connection is operating in implicit transaction mode
MS SQL automatically starts a new transaction after the
current transaction is committed or rolled back.Implicit
transaction mode generates a continuous chain of
transactions.

An explicit transaction is one in which you explicitly
define both the start and end of the transaction.A user has
to use the BEGIN TRANSACTION, COMMIT TRANSACTION, COMMIT
WORK, ROLLBACK TRANSACTION, or ROLLBACK WORK Transact-SQL
statements to define explicit transactions.

Answer / chintan

IMPLICIT TRANSACTION: When turned on by using "SET
IMPLICIT_TRANSACTION ON" during transaction you have to
issue 'COMMIT TRAN' command in order to commit transaction.

EXPLICIT TRANSACTION: By default in SQL Server when you
finish a transaction it is committed to the database.
