ACID? #13

Closed alexreg closed 3 years ago

Does this provide atomicity as in ACID, or just in the weaker sense?

eugene-eeo commented 3 years ago

Hi, if there is only one process using the TinyDB database, and also if you use the transaction locks properly, then yeah I would say it's sort of ACID -- transactions are atomic, isolation is kind of supported..., consistency is up in the air (there are no schemas, but if a transaction commits then you've moved to a consistent state - where consistent is up to you), durability is dependent on how you store your data (what storage you use).

Hope it answers your question

Thanks for clarifying!
