ACID transactions are a set of properties that guarantee the reliability and durability of database transactions. ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. These properties ensure that database transactions are processed reliably, even in the event of system failures or errors.
Atomicity
Atomicity means that a transaction is an indivisible unit of work. Either the entire transaction is committed to the database, or it is rolled back and no changes are made. This ensures that the database is always in a consistent state, even if a transaction fails.
Consistency
Consistency means that a transaction must maintain the integrity of the database. This means that the transaction cannot violate any of the database's constraints, such as foreign key constraints or data type constraints. If a transaction violates a constraint, it will be rolled back and no changes will be made.
