Durability
Durability guarantees that once a transaction has been committed, it will remain so, even in the case of a system failure. This ensures the permanence of the database’s state and provides reliability to the overall system.
Consistency
Consistency ensures that a database moves from one valid state to another, maintaining all predefined rules, such as data types and constraints. It is essential for preventing corruption of data and ensuring that data remains accurate and reliable.
Atomicity
Atomicity ensures that each transaction is treated as a single unit, which either completes entirely or does not occur at all. It is crucial for maintaining the integrity of data by preventing partial updates that could lead to inconsistencies.
Isolation
Isolation property ensures that transactions occur independently and transparently, such that concurrently running transactions do not affect each other. This is important to prevent 'dirty reads' and ensure that transactions produce consistent results, as if they were run serially.
