Atomicity is a concept in computer science that refers to the indivisibility of an operation. It is often associated with database management systems, where it ensures that a transaction either fully executes or is completely rolled back if an error occurs. Atomicity can also be referred to as indivisibility, invariance, or consistency. These synonyms effectively underscore the importance of the concept in maintaining data integrity in various systems. Other synonyms for atomicity include isolation, ownership, and wholeness. In all cases, the goal is to ensure that the entire operation or transaction is either successfully completed or fully undone, without leaving any intermediate or incomplete states.
