Atomicity ensures that a transaction is an indivisible unit of work, so either all operations within it succeed, or none of them take effect. Consistency implies that a transaction takes the database from one consistent state to another, adhering to pre-defined integrity constraints. Isolation ensures that concurrent transactions do not interfere with each other, and durability guarantees that once a transaction is committed, its effects persist, regardless of system failures.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Components_of_a_Transaction\"><\/span>Components of a Transaction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A transaction comprises several components, each playing a vital role in determining its behavior and characteristics.
