ACID Compliance

ACID compliance refers to a set of principles that ensure reliable processing of database transactions. It stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Atomicity guarantees that a transaction is all-or-nothing; consistency ensures data remains valid after a transaction; isolation keeps transactions independent so they don’t interfere with each other; and durability means that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in case of a system failure. Together, these principles help maintain data integrity and reliability in databases, which is crucial for applications like banking, inventory management, and more.
