BeginTrans, CommitTrans, and RollbackTrans Methods Example (VC++)

This example changes the book type of all psychology books in the Titles table of the database. After the BeginTrans method starts a transaction that isolates all the changes made to the Titles table, the CommitTrans method saves the changes. You can use the Rollback method to undo changes that you saved using the Update method.
