FAQ

Brief
ACID properties of database system.
• Atomic
Each transaction is regarded as atomic.
• Consistency
The consistency property ensures that any transaction will
bring the database from one valid state to another.
• Isolation
Users should be able to understand a transaction without
considering the effect of other concurrently executing
transactions.
• Durability
Once the DBMS informs the user that a transaction has been
successfully completed, its effects should persist even if
the system crashes before all its changes are reflected on
disk.

FAQ

Brief
About Isolation Level
• Most DBA System offers a number of transaction isolation

levels, which control the degree of locking when selecting
data.
• The higher isolation level, the more locks needed.

It is trade-off.
• For concurrency control, with multiple transactions.
