What is a transaction log?
Rating:
A transaction log is the record of changes made to a database. It is used to back up a system. All the changes made to the database are recorded in the log. If the database is lost due to storage media or system failure, it can be recovered without any data loss. However, it requires additional disk space to store the log.
