What are atomic transactions in Django?

Atomic transactions in Django ensure that a series of database operations are completed successfully or not at all, maintaining data integrity.

How do I implement atomic transactions in my Django project?

You can use the @transaction.atomic decorator or context manager to wrap your database operations in an atomic block.

Can you give me an example of using atomic transactions?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from django.db import transaction

@transaction.atomic
def create_user_profile(user_data):
    user = User.objects.create(**user_data)
    Profile.objects.create(user=user)

This ensures both user and profile are created together.

What happens if an error occurs during an atomic transaction?

If an error occurs, all operations within the atomic block are rolled back, leaving the database in its previous state.
