Let's walk through creating a transaction ourselves based on the `BankAccounts` table described in the previous chapter.

We're going to perform a straightforward financial transaction: transferring funds from one account to another. Ensuring that both steps occur as a single logical unit exemplifies a real-life transaction.

We will work with account numbers `101` and `789` and the initial balance will be the following:

import unittest
import psycopg2
import pandas as pd

class TestPostgresQuery(unittest.TestCase):
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls):
        cls.connection = psycopg2.connect(
            host="localhost",
            user="agent",
            password="qwerty",
            dbname="testdb",
            sslmode="disable"
        )
        cls.cursor = cls.connection.cursor()

    def test_balances_after_transaction(self):
        """Check if balances for accounts 101 and 789 are updated correctly after transferring 500 from 101 to 789."""
        with open("query.sql", "r") as file:
            query = file.read()
        self.cursor.execute("UPDATE BankAccounts SET balance = 4500 WHERE account_number = 101;")
        self.cursor.execute("UPDATE BankAccounts SET balance = 3500 WHERE account_number = 789;")
        self.connection.commit()
        self.cursor.execute(query)
        rows = self.cursor.fetchall()
        columns = [desc[0] for desc in self.cursor.description]
        result_df = pd.DataFrame(rows, columns=columns)
        result_df = result_df.set_index('account_number')
        expected_balances = {101: 4000.00, 789: 4000.00}
        correct = True
        for acc, expected in expected_balances.items():
            if acc not in result_df.index or float(result_df.loc[acc, 'balance']) != expected:

        _dynamic_test(

    def test_transaction_committed(self):
        """Check that the transaction is committed and balances persist after reconnect."""
        with open("query.sql", "r") as file:
            query = file.read()
        # Reset balances
        self.cursor.execute("UPDATE BankAccounts SET balance = 4500 WHERE account_number = 101;")
        self.cursor.execute("UPDATE BankAccounts SET balance = 3500 WHERE account_number = 789;")
        self.connection.commit()
        self.cursor.execute(query)
        self.connection.commit()
        # Reconnect to check persistence
        self.cursor.close()
        self.connection.close()
