## Transactions
All individual save and delete operations are run in a transaction by default.
To perform a set of operations within a transaction, the general flow is as below.
The database handle returned from ``` db.Begin() ``` should be used for all operations within the transaction.
(Note that all individual save and delete operations are run in a transaction by default.)
```go
// begin
tx := db.Begin()
// do revertable work in a transaction (use 'tx' in place of 'db')
tx.Exec
// do some database operations (use 'tx' from this point, not 'db')
tx.Create(...)
...
// rollback
// rollback in case of error
tx.Rollback()
// commit
// Or commit if all is ok
tx.Commit()
```
### More Complex Example
### A Specific Example
```
func CreateAnimals(db *gorm.DB) err {
tx := db.Begin()
