ACID Properties
ACID properties ensure reliable processing of database transactions. - **Atomicity** guarantees that a transaction is all-or-nothing: it either completes fully or not at all. - **Consistency** ensures that a transaction brings the database from one valid state to another, maintaining all rules and constraints. - **Isolation** keeps transactions separate, so they don't interfere with each other, ensuring that concurrent transactions operate as if they were sequential. - **Durability** ensures that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in case of a system failure. Together, these properties maintain the integrity and reliability of databases.

ACID properties refer to a set of principles that ensure reliable processing of database transactions. - **Atomicity** guarantees that a transaction is all-or-nothing: it either completes fully or not at all. - **Consistency** ensures that a transaction brings the database from one valid state to another, preserving its rules. - **Isolation** means that transactions occur independently, so one does not interfere with another. - **Durability** guarantees that once a transaction is committed, it remains so, even in the event of a system failure. Together, these properties help maintain data integrity and reliability in databases.
