In computer science, ACID (atomicity, consistency,
isolation, durability) is a set of properties that
guarantee 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 though that
might involve 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
automatically achieve them.[1] In 1983, Andreas Reuter and
Theo Haerder coined the acronym ACID to describe them.[2]
