Transaction types
Transactions come in three types:
- Non-Distributed transactions
- manipulate or query only a single database (the local database where the user is logged in).
- Remote transactions
- manipulate or query only a remotely located database.
- Distributed transactions
- manipulate or query more than one node in a distributed database.
