Explain ACID Properties with Example
đ Problem
Explain what ACID stands for in database transactions, using a bank transfer as an example.
đ§ Approach
Atomicity: the transfer (debit + credit) either fully happens or not at all â no half-completed transfer. Consistency: total money in the system stays correct before and after. Isolation: two simultaneous transfers don't interfere with or see each other's incomplete changes. Durability: once the transfer is confirmed, it survives even if the server crashes right after.
