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. Jim Gray defined these properties of a reliable transaction system in the late 1970s and developed technologies to achieve them automatically. In 1983, Andreas Reuter and Theo H rder coined the acronym ACID to describe them.These four properties, atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID), describe the major highlights of the transaction paradigm, which has influenced many aspects of development in database systems.
