Atomicity (something happens in its entirety or not at all), consistency (database is always in a valid state


if the database has constraints, they will always be honored), isolation (transactions don't step on each other), durability (complete transaction is complete even if there's a power failure).

Not a database expert, my parenthetical explanations may need work.
