Abstract
A distributed transaction (XA) system allows different databases, and even different database engines, to participate in a single global transaction. As a result, you can update an employee record in DB2, update user preferences in Berkeley DB, and update payroll information in Oracle, all as part of a single, global distributed transaction.
