Database Transaction Properties and Concepts

The video tutorial by Vishali covers the ACID properties essential for maintaining database consistency during transactions. It begins with an introduction and recap of previous sessions, followed by a detailed explanation of each ACID property: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. Each property is explained with examples to illustrate their importance in ensuring data integrity and reliability in database management systems.

What is the primary purpose of ACID properties in database management?

• To enhance the speed of transactions

• To ensure database consistency and accuracy

• To reduce the size of the database

• To increase the number of transactions

Which of the following best describes the Atomicity property?

• Transactions can be partially completed

• Data is permanently stored after a transaction

• All transactions must be completed or none at all

• Transactions are visible to other transactions

In the context of Atomicity, what happens if an error occurs before a commit?

• The transaction is partially saved

• The transaction is rolled back

• The transaction is ignored

• The transaction is completed with errors

What does the Consistency property ensure in a database transaction?

• Multiple transactions can occur simultaneously

• The database values remain unchanged before and after the transaction

• The transaction is completed quickly

• Data is permanently stored after a transaction

Which role is responsible for maintaining the Consistency property?

• Recovery Manager

• Transaction Control Manager

• Application Programmer

• Database Administrator

What does the Isolation property allow in database transactions?

• Transactions to be visible to each other

• Multiple transactions to occur independently

• Data to be stored permanently

• Transactions to be completed quickly

When does the Isolation property cease to apply?

• Before a transaction is initiated

• After a transaction is initiated

• After a transaction is committed

• Before a transaction is committed

What is the main focus of the Durability property?

• Ensuring transactions are completed quickly

• Ensuring database values remain unchanged

• Ensuring data is permanently stored after a transaction

• Allowing multiple transactions to occur simultaneously

Who is responsible for handling the Durability property?

• Transaction Control Manager

• Application Programmer

• Recovery Manager

• Database Administrator

What happens to the data if an error occurs after a transaction is committed?

• The transaction is completed with errors

• The transaction is rolled back

• The data remains unaffected

• The data is lost
