Transactions are on servers only, but you can start them anywhere.

On the clients you might get connection timeouts which will automatically rollback the transaction.

If you're talking ADO, you can start a transaction with SqlConnection.BeginTransaction or something like that, I presume that's what you mean. I'd argue because you want to keep transactions as small and fast as possible its better to do them in the database. These also leads to a better encapsulation in that your database 'black-box' is transactionally sound.

Google is your friend!
There is a nice article on Transactions right here on CP Using Transactions in ADO.NET[^]
MSDN also has sufficient sources on Transactions[^]
You might also be interested in Distributed Transactions[^] and TransactionScope[^]
Use Transactions in SP's or ADO.NET?[^] I think the most important thing is that a Transaction actually does what it does, which is making sure actions are rolled back if an exception occurs!
If you want to use it in an SP or in code kind of depends on you and your situation.
Hope this helps :)

What you are asking is not clear. What is the connection between transactions and SPs?
