What is ACID properties?
ACID describes reliable database transactions: Atomicity (all or nothing), Consistency (rules are preserved), Isolation (concurrent transactions don’t interfere) and Durability (committed data survives crashes).
Example
A bank transfer debits one account and credits another inside one transaction — both happen or neither does.
