-Ever wondered what keeps your database from turning into a chaotic mess? ACID: the four pillars of reliable transactions!
Atomicity: All or nothing. Your transaction either fully completes or completely rolls back.
Consistency: Data always moves from one valid state to another – no rule-breaking allowed.
Isolation: Concurrent transactions don't step on each other's toes.
Durability: Once committed, your data survives crashes, power outages, you name it.
