How can I ensure data consistency in my application?

To ensure data consistency, you can implement transactions, use locking mechanisms, and validate data before processing.

What are transactions and how do they help?

Transactions are sequences of operations that are treated as a single unit. They help maintain consistency by ensuring that either all operations succeed or none do.

Can you explain locking mechanisms?

Locking mechanisms prevent multiple processes from accessing the same data simultaneously, which helps avoid conflicts and ensures consistency.

What validation techniques should I use?

You can use techniques like input validation, data type checks, and referential integrity constraints to ensure data consistency.
