Transaction Properties(ACID Properties)

A transaction is defined as a group of tasks with key properties including atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID). These properties ensure that transactions are accurately processed, maintaining data integrity and consistency within the database even in scenarios of hardware failures or concurrent execution. The document outlines the five states of a transaction: active, partially committed, committed, failed, and aborted, explaining the transitions and implications of each state.

- 2. About Transaction ➔ A transaction can be defined as a group of tasks. ➔ A single task is the minimum processing unit which cannot be divided further. A’s Account B’s Account Open_Account(A) Open_Account(B) Old_Balance = A.balance Old_Balance = B.balance New_Balance = Old_Balance - 500 New_Balance = Old_Balance + 500 A.balance = New_Balance B.balance = New_Balance Close_Account(A) Close_Account(B)
- 3. Transaction Concept ➔ A transaction must see a consistent database. ➔ During transaction execution the database may be inconsistent. ➔ When the transaction is committed, the database must be consistent. ➔ Two main issues to deal with: ◆ Failures of various kinds, such as hardware failures and system crashes ◆ Concurrent execution of multiple transactions
- 4. Properties of Transaction ➔ A transaction is a very small unit of a program and it may contain several low level tasks. ➔ A transaction in a database system must maintain Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability. ➔ It is commonly known as ACID properties in order to ensure accuracy, completeness, and data integrity.
- 5. Atomicity:(all or nothing) ➔ This property states that a transaction must be treated as an atomic unit, that is, either all of its operations are executed or none. ➔ There must be no state in a database where a transaction is left partially completed. States should be defined either before the execution of the transaction or after the execution/abortion/failure of the transaction.
- 6. Consistency:(No violation of integrity constraints) ➔ A transaction reaching its normal end, thereby committing its results, preserves the consistency of the database. In other words, each successful transaction by definition commits only legal results. ➔ Example:- ➔ If a field-type in database is Integer, it should accept only Integer values and not some kind of other.If you want to store other types in this field, consistency are violated. At this condition transaction will rollback.
- 7. ➔ In a database system where more than one transaction are being executed simultaneously and in parallel, the property of isolation states that all the transactions will be carried out and executed as if it is the only transaction in the system. No transaction will affect the existence of any other transaction. ➔ In Simple words we can say that Events within a transaction must be hidden from other transactions running concurrently Isolation:(concurrent changes invisibles)
- 8. Durability: (committed update persist) ➔ The database should be durable enough to hold all its latest updates even if the system fails or restarts. If a transaction updates a chunk of data in a database and commits, then the database will hold the modified data. If a transaction commits but the system fails before the data could be written on to the disk, then that data will be updated once the system springs back into action. ➔ durability is the property which guarantees that transactions that have committed will survive permanently. For example, if a flight booking reports that a seat has successfully been booked, then the seat will remain booked even if the system crashes.
- 9. Transaction States There are five states of Transaction:- 1. ACTIVE 2. PARTIALLY COMMITTED 3. COMMITTED 4. FAILED 5. ABORTED
- 10. ● ACTIVE − In this state, the transaction is being executed. This is the initial state of every transaction. ● PARTIALLY COMMITTED − When a transaction executes its final operation, it is said to be in a partially committed state. ● FAILED − A transaction is said to be in a failed state if any of the checks made by the database recovery system fails. A failed transaction can no longer proceed further. ● ABORTED − If any of the checks fails and the transaction has reached a failed state, then the recovery manager rolls back all its write operations on the database to bring the database back to its original state where it was prior to the execution of the transaction. Transactions in this state are called aborted. The database recovery module can select one of the two operations after a transaction aborts − ○ Re-start the transaction ○ Kill the transaction ● COMMITTED − If a transaction executes all its operations successfully, it is said to be committed. All its effects are now permanently established on the database system.
