Question 12hardmultiple choice
Full question →

A small business uses a MySQL database to manage inventory and sales. The database has two tables: Products (ProductID, ProductName, QuantityInStock) and Sales (SaleID, ProductID, QuantitySold, SaleDate). The business runs a nightly script that updates QuantityInStock by subtracting QuantitySold from the Products table based on the day's sales. Recently, the inventory levels have become inaccurate. For example, a product shows negative stock even though no sales occurred that day. The database administrator suspects the issue is related to how transactions are handled. The nightly script runs multiple UPDATE statements in a loop. If the script fails partway through, some products' stock is updated while others are not, leaving inconsistent data. The administrator wants to ensure that either all updates succeed or none do, and that the script does not interfere with daytime operations. Which action should the administrator take?
