awswrangler.lakeformation.start_transaction(read_only: Optional[bool] = False, time_out: Optional[float] = inf, boto3_session: Optional[Session] = None) str

Start a new transaction and returns its transaction ID.

The transaction is periodically extended until it’s committed, canceled or the defined time-out is reached.

Parameters

  • time_out (float, optional) – Maximum duration over which a transaction is extended.

  • boto3_session (boto3.Session(), optional) – Boto3 Session. The default boto3 session will be used if boto3_session received None.
