LUW - Logical Unit of Work
A Logical Unit of Work (LUW or database transaction) is an inseparable sequence of database
operations which must be executed either in its entirety or not at all. For the database system, it
thus constitutes a unit.
LUWs help to guarantee database integrity. When an LUW has been successfully concluded, the
database is once again in a correct state. If, however, an error occurs within an LUW, all database
changes made since the beginning of the LUW are canceled and the database is then in the same
state as before the LUW started.
An LUW begins
o each time you start a transaction
o when the database changes of the previous LUW have been confirmed (database commit) or
o when the database changes of the previous LUW have been cancelled (database rollback)
An LUW ends
o when the database changes have been confirmed (database commit) or
o when the database changes have been canceled (database rollback)
