These changes include database changes, messages, and actions on transducers. Consistency. A transaction is a correct transformation of the state. The actions taken as a group do not violate any of the integrity constrains associated with the state. This requires that the transaction be a correct program. Isolation. Even though transactions execute concurrently, it appears to each transaction, T, that others executed either before T or after T, but not both. Durability. Once a transaction completes successfully(commits), its changes to the state survive failures. (查看原文)
