ACID

Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability

Definition

ACID describes the four properties that guarantee reliable database transaction processing. Atomicity ensures all operations in a transaction succeed or all fail.

Consistency ensures transactions bring the database from one valid state to another. Isolation ensures concurrent transactions execute as if serial.

Durability ensures committed transactions survive system failures. ACID is the cornerstone of relational database reliability.
