Answer
ACID ensures reliable transactions. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
ACID stands for Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability. It's crucial for ensuring that database transactions are processed reliably. For instance, in an e-commerce checkout, ACID ensures that if a transaction fails due to a server error, all operations are rolled back, maintaining data integrity.
