SUMMARY

MySQL and PostgreSQL both offer ACID compliance, but their implementations differ significantly. MySQL achieves ACID compliance primarily through the InnoDB and NDB storage engines, while PostgreSQL is inherently ACID compliant across all its configurations. Users must utilize InnoDB for MySQL to ensure full ACID compliance, as other storage engines may not provide the same guarantees. For detailed guidance on using InnoDB, refer to the official MySQL documentation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ACID properties in database systems
  • Familiarity with MySQL 8.0 and its storage engines
  • Knowledge of PostgreSQL architecture and features
  • Basic SQL command proficiency
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the MySQL 8.0 documentation on InnoDB usage
  • Explore PostgreSQL's ACID compliance features
  • Learn about the differences between MySQL's InnoDB and NDB storage engines
  • Investigate best practices for ensuring ACID compliance in database design
USEFUL FOR

Database developers, system architects, and anyone involved in database project management seeking to understand ACID compliance in MySQL and PostgreSQL.

TL;DR
Which one supports ACID compliant between MySQL and PostgreSQL
Hello All, I am working on a database project and I am good at SQL commands. I want to know which one supports ACID compliant between MySQL and PostgreSQL. I have asked this question on Quora and according to this post, MySQL is not completely ACID compliant. It supports ACID only when used in InnoDB and NDB. Can anyone tell me how i can use them with InnoDB? Or PostgreSQL is supported or not?
