ACID

Summary

ACID is an acronym that stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability, which are a set of properties that guarantee reliable processing of database transactions.

Detailed Description

ACID properties ensure that database transactions are processed reliably. Atomicity guarantees that all operations in a transaction are completed successfully, or none at all. Consistency ensures that a transaction takes the database from one valid state to another, preserving the integrity of the data. Isolation ensures that transactions do not interfere with each other, such that the results of a transaction are not visible to others until the transaction is committed. Durability guarantees that once a transaction is committed, it will remain so, even in the event of a failure.
