database_transaction_type |
int | 1 = Read/write transaction 2 = Read-only transaction 3 = System transaction |
database_transaction_state |
int | 1 = The transaction has not been initialized. 3 = The transaction has been initialized but has not generated any log records. 4 = The transaction has generated log records. 5 = The transaction has been prepared. 10 = The transaction has been committed. 11 = The transaction has been rolled back. 12 = The transaction is being committed.

Permissions
On SQL Server and SQL Managed Instance, requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission.
In Microsoft Fabric, membership in the Contributor workspace role or more privileged role is needed to query sys.dm_tran_database_transactions.
On SQL Database Basic, S0, and S1 service objectives, and for databases in elastic pools, the server admin account, the Microsoft Entra admin account, or membership in the ##MS_ServerStateReader## server role is required. On all other SQL Database service objectives, either the VIEW DATABASE STATE permission on the database, or membership in the ##MS_ServerStateReader## server role is required.
Permissions for SQL Server 2022 and later
Requires VIEW SERVER PERFORMANCE STATE permission on the server.
