ITPEC FE Subject A October 2024 — Question 22 of 60

ACID — Atomicity — a transaction either fully completes or is entirely rolled back.

The question asks which ACID property guarantees "all or nothing" behavior for transactions.

  • Atomicity — ensures a transaction is treated as a single unit: it either commits all changes or rolls back completely, as if nothing happened
  • Consistency — ensures the database moves from one valid state to another
  • Durability — ensures committed data survives system failures
  • Isolation — ensures concurrent transactions do not interfere with each other

Answer: `a) Atomicity`

Key rule: "Fully completes or revoked as if no processing took place" = Atomicity (all-or-nothing).
