The ACID model is one of the oldest and most important concepts of database theory. It sets forward four goals that every database management system must strive to achieve: atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability. No database that fails to meet any of these four goals can be considered reliable.Let's take a moment to examine each one of these characteristics in detail: * Atomicity states that database modifications must follow an "all or nothing" rule. Each transaction is said to be "atomic." If one part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails. It is critical that the database management system maintain the atomic nature of transactions in spite of any DBMS, operating system or hardware failure. * Consistencystates that only valid data will be written to the database. If, for some reason, a transaction is executed that violates the database's consistency rules, the entire transaction will be rolled back and the database will be restored to a state consistent with those rules. On the other hand, if a transaction successfully executes, it will take the database from one state that is consistent with the rules to another state that is also consistent with the rules. * Isolation requires that multiple transactions occurring at the same time not impact each other's execution. For example, if Joe issues a transaction against a database at the same time that Mary issues a different transaction, both transactions should operate on the database in an isolated manner. The database should either perform Joe's entire transaction before executing Mary's or vice-versa. This prevents Joe's transaction from reading intermediate data produced as a side effect of part of Mary's transaction that will not eventually be committed to the database. Note that the isolation property does not ensure which transaction will execute first, merely that they will not interfere with each other. * Durability ensures that any transaction committed to the database will not be lost. Durability is ensured through the use of database backups and transaction logs that facilitate the restoration of committed transactions in spite of any subsequent software or hardware failures. Take a few minutes to review these characteristics and commit them to memory. If you spend any significant portion of your career working with databases, you'll see them again and again. They provide the basic building blocks of any database transaction model.
Generally speaking, yes it is ok for them to come to your job. But there is a difference between 3rd party bill collectors and 1st party. Say you owe money to Joe's Garage, and Joe comes to your office to collect. He's not a bill collector and he can do pretty much anything. If Joe gives that bill to an actual collection agency, there are rules and regulations that govern them. Yes, they can come to your office, but they can not discuss the debt with anyone but you, they cannot tell the receptionist they need to talk to you about an unpaid bill, nothing like that. If they do, they are violating federal law.
Which of the following situation could prevent Joe from receiving a refund for which he was otherwise entitled? a. filing a return for an open year. b. amending a tax return two years after the tax was paid. c. filing a return for a closed year. d. amending a tax return three years after the return was filed.
