Answer from AI
The main properties of transactions in databases that ensure reliability and integrity are known as ACID:
- Atomicity: a transaction is executed completely or not at all. If an error occurs, all changes are rolled back.
- Consistency: a transaction transforms the database from one correct state to another without violating any rules or constraints.
- Isolation: parallel transactions do not affect each other, and their results do not intersect.
- Durability: after a transaction successfully completes, changes are saved even in case of system failures.
These properties guarantee that data remains consistent and reliable under any conditions.
