<p>Returns the date and time on the database server that the current transaction
started. If you are not in a transaction it will return the date and time of
the current statement. This is a complement to
<a class="reference internal" href="../../models/database-functions.html#django.db.models.functions.Now" title="django.db.models.functions.Now"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">django.db.models.functions.Now</span></code></a>, which returns the date and time of the
current statement.</p>
<p>Note that only the outermost call to <a class="reference internal" href="../../../topics/db/transactions.html#django.db.transaction.atomic" title="django.db.transaction.atomic"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">atomic()</span></code></a>
sets up a transaction and thus sets the time that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TransactionNow()</span></code> will
return; nested calls create savepoints which do not affect the transaction
time.</p>
<p>Usage example:</p>
