From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   two-phase commit
  
      A technique for maintaining {integrity} in
      distributed {databases}.   Where a system uses two or more
      database, a transaction among the distibuted database should
      be {atomic} ("all or nothing").   This is done by handling the
      transaction in two phases.   First the databases prepare the
      transaction, confirm that it is possible to process it, and
      lock the relevant record.
  
      Once all the required databases confirm that the transaction
      is viable, the system instructs them all to {commit} it -
      i.e. to make it permanent.   If it is not possible to process
      it, the system will instruct the databases to {rollback}
      (undo) the transaction.
