A transaction checkpoint is a point in time when the system takes a snapshot of the current state of a transaction. This allows the system to roll back or recover from a transaction failure. There are many synonyms for the term "transaction checkpoint" including savepoint, recovery point, commit point, and synchronization point. A savepoint is a point in a transaction where the system can restart from in case of a failure. A recovery point is similar to a savepoint but is used to recover from a system failure. A commit point is a point at which a transaction is completed and the changes made are permanent. A synchronization point is a point where two or more transactions are synchronized to ensure data consistency.
