FAQ

Brief
ACID properties of database system.
• Atomic
Each transaction is regarded as atomic.
• Consistency
The consistency property ensures that any transaction will
bring the database from one valid state to another.
• Isolation
Users should be able to understand a transaction without
considering the effect of other concurrently executing
transactions.
• Durability
Once the DBMS informs the user that a transaction has been
successfully completed, its effects should persist even if
the system crashes before all its changes are reflected on
disk.

levels, which control the degree of locking when selecting
data.

It is trade-off.
