What properties ensure transaction compliance when working with a database within the ACID framework?

Answer from AI
ACID is a set of properties that ensure reliable transactions in a database:
- Atomicity: The transaction is completed in full or not at all. If part of the operation fails, all changes are rolled back.
- Consistency: The transaction transforms the database from one valid state to another, adhering to all constraints and rules.
- Isolation: Parallel transactions do not affect each other; the result is equivalent to sequential execution.
- Durability: After a transaction commits, changes are permanently saved and not lost even in case of failures.
These properties are supported by database mechanisms such as transaction logs, locks, version control, and rollback capabilities.
