FWIW --- as defined by ORACLE  http://www.orafaq.com/glossary/faqglosa.htm

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.
