[All GSNA Questions]

ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability) is an acronym and mnemonic device for learning and remembering the four primary attributes ensured to any transaction by a transaction manager. Which of the following attributes of ACID confirms that the committed data will be saved by the system such that, even in the event of a failure or system restart, the data will be available in its correct state?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Durability is the attribute of ACID which confirms that the committed data will be saved by the system such that, even in the event of a failure or system restart, the data will be available in its correct state.

Answer B is incorrect. Atomicity is the attribute of ACID which confirms that, in a transaction involving two or more discrete pieces of

information, either all of the pieces are committed or none are.

Answer D is incorrect. Consistency is the attribute of ACID which confirms that a transaction either creates a new and valid state of

data, or, if any failure occurs, returns all data to its state before the transaction was started.

Answer C is incorrect. Isolation is the attribute of ACID which confirms that a transaction in process and not yet committed must remain isolated from any other transaction.

Consistency is important too, but Durability is the answer here.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, and it was definitely about Durability ensuring data is saved correctly.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about Atomicity being about all-or-nothing transactions.

I think the answer is Durability because it relates to how data is preserved even after a crash.

Consistency sounds familiar, but I don't think it deals with data being saved after a failure. I’m leaning towards Durability as well.

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced where we discussed how committed data is handled. I think it might be Durability too.

Consistency sounds familiar too, but I think that’s more about the data being valid before and after a transaction.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The Predictive (member) method might also work well, as it tries to predict the future load on each node based on historical data.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the components that make up a security policy rule.
