both execute the one or more sql statements

[Jan Cumps]

Rough explanation:
Batch update: you send a set of updates to the server in group in stead of one by one.

Transaction: a set of queries that logically belong together. The changes are only visible to other users when you commit the transaction. They are all reverted to the situation before the transaction started if you rollback.
