Serializability

Serializability is a key concept in database systems ensuring that multiple operations or transactions occur in a way that the final result is equivalent to them happening one after the other, in some order, without overlapping or interfering. It guarantees data consistency and correctness when many users access or modify the database concurrently. Think of it as organizing tasks so they produce the same outcome as if they were done sequentially, even if executed simultaneously, maintaining the integrity of the data.
