How to execute a distributed TRANSACTION?

The following SQL Server T-SQL code sample A+ Markets gourmet food stores demonstrates the usage of distributed transactions to update the Customers table on the remote Linked Server and on the local server:

USE Northwind

BEGIN DISTRIBUTED TRAN

 

UPDATE LinkedServerName.Northwind.dbo.Customers

SET    CompanyName = 'A+ Markets'

WHERE  CustomerID = 'ABCD'

 

UPDATE Customers

SET    CompanyName = 'A+ Markets'

WHERE  CustomerID = 'ABCD'

 

COMMIT TRAN

After execution the name of the gourmet food chain would be updated on both servers.
