> none of the data should be available As written, that's not required. The data should not be retrieveable by query, but ACID only specifies what happens at the client-server boundary, not what happens at the server-storage boundary (Durability prescribes that the server must persist the data, but not how to persist it). A database that implements DELETEs by only tombstoning the row and doesn't discard the data until the next re-index or vacuum operation would still be ACID-compliant. |
