🔄 GBase Database Internals: Transactions, Logging, and Service Lifecycle Explained

In production systems, executing SQL is only part of the story. Behind every operation in GBase database , there is a full lifecycle: A transaction begins Data changes are written Logs record every step The database service ensures durability Recovery is possible if something fails This article connects transactions + logging + service management into one complete picture. 🧠 Part 1: Transactions — The Foundation of Data Consistency In GBase, all data operations are executed inside transactions.
