The ACID Properties

The ACID properties are a set of principles that ensure reliable processing of transactions in databases. - **Atomicity** means 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** prevents transactions from interfering with one another, so they appear to be executed in sequence. - **Durability** guarantees that once a transaction is committed, it remains so even in the event of a power loss or crash. Together, these properties ensure data integrity and reliability.
