ACID
The basic properties of a database transaction: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. All Oracle
transactions
comply with these properties.
* Atomicity - The entire sequence of actions must be either completed or aborted. The transaction cannot be
partially
successful.
* Consistency - The transaction takes the resources from one consistent state to another.
* Isolation - A transaction's effect is not visible to other transactions until the transaction is committed.
* Durability - Changes made by the committed transaction are permanent and must survive system failure.
