"""
 Demonstrate how to keep your SQL Server database consistent when performing a series of updates using pyodbc, and something goes wrong
 somewhere in the middle of it all.
 
 Transactions are managed at the connection level (not the cursor level). When creating the connection, set autocommit=False.
 When a command (e.g., an update) is executed against the connection, it will not be committed automatically.
 
 If you are executing multiple commands against the connection, and an error is raised before all the commands are complete,
 your database may not be consistent. But, since the commands were not committed, it's ok.
