ACID
In computer science , ACID ( Atomicity , Consistency , Isolation , Durability ) is a set of properties that guarantee that database transactions are processed reliably. In the context of databases , a single logical operation on the data is called a transaction. For example, a transfer of funds from one bank account to another, even involving multiple changes such as debiting one account and crediting another, is a single transaction. The chosen initials refer to the acid test . [ citation needed ] Jim Gray defined these properties of a reliable transaction system in the late 1970s and developed technologies to achieve them automatically. [ 1 ] In 1983, Andreas Reuter and Theo Härder coined the acronym ACID to describe them. [ 2 ]
