Database Transactions: Ensuring Data Integrity

Transactions ensure your database operations are reliable and consistent.

ACID Properties#

• Atomicity: All operations succeed or all fail
• Consistency: Database moves from one valid state to another
• Isolation: Concurrent transactions don't interfere
• Durability: Committed changes persist
