okay, let's dive deep into the `@transactional` annotation in spring boot. this is a crucial concept for building robust and reliable applications. this tutorial will cover everything from the basics to more advanced considerations, and will be split into two parts for better readability and manageability.

*part 1: fundamentals of spring boot transactions*

*1. what is a transaction?*

at its core, a transaction is a logical unit of work that encompasses one or more operations against a database (or other transactional resources). it's treated as an atomic unit, meaning either all operations succeed (commit) or all operations fail (rollback).

think of it like transferring money from one bank account to another. the process involves two operations:

debiting the amount from the source account.
crediting the amount to the destination account.

if the debit succeeds but the credit fails (e.g., insufficient funds, network error), the whole transfer should be considered a failure, and the debit should be rolled back to maintain data consistency. otherwise, you'll have money disappearing into the ether.

*key properties of transactions (acid):*

transactions adhere to the acid properties:

*atomicity:* all operations within a transaction are treated as a single "unit of work". either all succeed, or all fail. (think "all or nothing").
*consistency:* a transaction must maintain the integrity of the data. it moves the database from one valid state to another. it ensures that database constraints are not violated.
*isolation:* transactions should be isolated from each other. while multiple transactions might be running concurrently, each should operate as if it's the only transaction in the system. this prevents "dirty reads," "non-repeatable reads," and "phantom reads" (explained later).
*durability:* once a transaction is committed, the changes are permanent and will survive even system failures (e.g., power outages). ...
