### Relational database management system (RDBMS)
|
||
|
||
A relational database like SQL is a collection of data items organized in tables.
|
||
|
||
ACID is a set of properties of relational database [transactions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_transaction) .
|
||
|
||
- Atomicity - Each transaction is all or nothing
|
||
- Consistency - Any tranaction will bring the database from one valid state to another
|
||
- Isolation - Excuting transactions concurrently has the same results as if the transactions were executed serially
|
||
- Durability - Once a transaction has been committed, it will remain so
|
||
|
||
There are many techniques to scale a relational database: master-slave replication, master-master replication, federation, sharding, denormalization, and SQL tuning. |
