91
(postgres-intro) | What are some advantages of learning a relational database?
ACID, atomicity: guarantees that each transaction is treated as a single "unit", which either succeeds completely, or fails completely: consistency: ensures that a transaction can only bring the database from one valid state to another, maintaining database invariants isolation: Transactions are often executed concurrently (e.g., multiple transactions reading and writing to a table at the same time). Isolation ensures that concurrent execution of transactions leaves the database in the same state that would have been obtained if the transactions were executed sequentially. durability: guarantees that once a transaction has been committed, it will remain committed even in the case of a system failure (e.g., power outage or crash).
92
(postgres-intro) | What is one way to see if PostgreSQL is running?
Run the Top command in a second terminal to be able to see that the PostgresQL is running
