Explain the meaning of the ACID acronym in the context of database transactions

ACID is a set of properties that guarantee reliable transactions in databases:

• Atomicity: The transaction is completed entirely or not at all. If something goes wrong, all changes are rolled back.
• Consistency: After the transaction, the database remains in a correct state, satisfying all rules and constraints.
• Isolation: Parallel transactions do not affect each other, as if they were executed sequentially.
• Durability: After a successful transaction, changes are saved and not lost even in case of failures.

These properties ensure data integrity and reliable database operations.
