Project Overview

The Grocery Management Application utilizes Database Management Systems (DBMS) and ACID properties to ensure data integrity and transaction reliability. ACID principles, including Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability, govern transactional behavior, guaranteeing data consistency and reliability. Conflicting transactions arise when multiple transactions modify the same data concurrently, while non-conflicting transactions operate independently. Commits finalize transactions, making changes permanent, while rollbacks reverse transaction effects in case of failure. This project exemplifies efficient transaction management, maintaining a seamless experience for customers and administrators in managing grocery store operations with reliability and integrity.
