ACID + refernetial integ Flashcards
whats acid
Atomicity
consistency
isolation
durability
whats atomicity
a transaction must be processed in its entirity or not at all
whats consistency
transaction must maintain the referential integrity rules between linked tables.
whats isolation
Simultaneous executions of transactions should lead to the same result as if they
were executed one after the other
whats durability
Once a transaction has been executed it will remain so regardless of the
circumstances surrounding it, such as in the event of a power cut.
what is referential integrity
Referential integrity is the process of ensuring consistency. This ensures that information
is not removed if it is required elsewhere in a linked database. If two database tables are
linked, one of these tables cannot be deleted as the other table requires its contents.
