true definition of a transaction

Does the definition of a transaction vary depending on technology? The high
level definition is basically a 'single unit of work'. However, in oracle a
transaction is a commit, in J2EE EJB world a transaction can include an in
memory change to a variable, in sql server, i think selects are included in the
definition of a transaction.
I heard a guy on the radio who claims to run a company that 'implemented one
the highest transaction data warehouses in the world'. To me that is an
oxymoron. By definition data warehouses are read mostly, with period data
loads.
has anyone else noticed this? any comments?
