Atomicity says all-or-nothing: PostgreSQL implements it via WAL rollback; MySQL InnoDB via undo logs. Consistency saysabstractalgorithms.hashnode.dev

Read Committed (PostgreSQL and Oracle's default) prevents dirty reads but still silently allows non-repeatable reads, abstractalgorithms.hashnode.dev
