Database Experience

Transactions in this sense are a specific feature of a dbms.  They are
committed (updated to the database) by a specific command, and can be rolled
back by another specific command.  Of course in a general sense you are
correct.

When I think of a transaction I think of updating data to the database.
Does this mean that the Classic version only supports queries, but can
support multiple user queries, where Pro supports multiple user updates as
well?  Jim
