This short video introduces the challenge of safely transferring funds between two bank accounts using a SQL transaction. It demonstrates how to structure the transaction so that both the deduction and addition of funds occur together, and shows how to ensure the entire transaction is rolled back if the source account does not have sufficient funds.

When transferring funds between two accounts in a banking system, you must ensure that both the deduction from the source account and the addition to the destination account happen together as a single, indivisible operation. This is where the concept of a transaction comes in: a transaction groups multiple SQL statements so that they either all succeed or none take effect, maintaining atomicity.

To transfer funds, you will work with the `bank_accounts` table, which contains columns for `account_id`, `owner_name`, and `balance`. The transaction should:

- Start with a `BEGIN` statement to initiate the transaction;
- Check that the source account has enough funds for the transfer;
- If there are sufficient funds, deduct the amount from the source account and add it to the destination account;
- If the source account lacks sufficient funds, the transaction should be rolled back, leaving all balances unchanged;
- Commit the transaction only if all steps succeed.

This approach ensures that no partial updates occur, and the system remains reliable even in the event of errors.
