What is Transactional Recovery?
Transactional Recovery is the process of restoring data in a database to its previous state after a failure or system crash, while ensuring data integrity. This process is typically automatic and takes place when a failure occurs within a database system.
How Transactional Recovery Works
Transactional Recovery works by rolling back the database to its state before the failure occurred. The process involves undoing any changes made to the database during the interrupted transaction and then reapplying them in the correct order. This ensures that the database is restored to its previous consistent and coherent state.
Why Transactional Recovery is Important
Transactional Recovery is essential for businesses that rely on databases to store critical information. It ensures that data is protected and available in the event of a system failure or crash. By restoring data to its previous state, businesses can avoid data loss, reduce downtime, and maintain business continuity.
The Most Important Transactional Recovery Use Cases
Transactional Recovery is widely used in a variety of industries and scenarios, including financial organizations, e-commerce businesses, and healthcare providers. Use cases include:
- Protecting financial transaction data, such as credit card transactions, from loss or corruption.
- Safeguarding e-commerce platforms against system failures that could cause loss of sales data and customer information.
- Ensuring continuity of healthcare providers by maintaining access to critical patient information in the event of a system crash or failure.
