`
`ACID properties of transactions
`
`In the context of transaction processing, the acronym ACID refers to the four key properties of
`a transaction: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability.
`
`Atomicity
`
`Rate this page
`
`All changes to data are performed as if they are a single operation. That is, all the
`changes are performed, or none of them are.
`For example, in an application that transfers funds from one account to another, the
`atomicity property ensures that, if a debit is made successfully from one account,
`the corresponding credit is made to the other account.
`Consistency
`
`Data is in a consistent state when a transaction starts and when it ends.
`For example, in an application that transfers funds from one account to another, the
`consistency property ensures that the total value of funds in both the accounts is the
`same at the start and end of each transaction.
`
`Isolation
`
`The intermediate state of a transaction is invisible to other transactions. As a result,
`transactions that run concurrently appear to be serialized.
`For example, in an application that transfers funds from one account to another, the
`isolation property ensures that another transaction sees the transferred funds in one
`account or the other, but not in both, nor in neither.
`Durability
`
`After a transaction successfully completes, changes to data persist and are not
`undone, even in the event of a system failure.
`For example, in an application that transfers funds from one account to another, the
`durability property ensures that the changes made to each account will not be
`reversed.
