ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation & Durability)
Atomicity: Atomicity requires that each transaction be "all or nothing": if one part of the transaction fails, then the entire transaction fails, and the database state is left unchanged. An atomic system must guarantee atomicity in each and every situation, including power failures, errors and crashes. To the outside world, a committed transaction appears (by its effects on the database) to be indivisible ("atomic"), and an aborted transaction does not happen.
Consistency: The consistency property ensures that any transaction will bring the database from one valid state to another. Any data written to the database must be valid according to all defined rules including constraints, cascades, triggers, and any combination thereof. This does not guarantee correctness of the transaction in all ways the application programmer might have wanted
(that is the responsibility of application-level code), but merely that any programming errors cannot result in the violation of any defined rules.
Isolation: The isolation property ensures that the concurrent execution of transactions results in a system state that would be obtained if transactions were executed sequentially, i.e., one after the other. Providing isolation is the main goal of concurrency control. Depending on the concurrency control method (i.e., if it uses strict - as opposed to relaxed - serializability), the effects of an incomplete transaction might not even be visible to another transaction.
Durability: The durability property ensures that once a transaction has been committed, it will remain so, even in the event of power loss, crashes, or errors. In a relational database, for instance, once a group of SQL statements execute, the results need to be stored permanently (even if the database crashes immediately thereafter). To defend against power loss, transactions (or their effects) must be recorded in a non-volatile memory

Bitcoin Crypto-currency & Block-chain Technology CAIIB IT Exam
CAIIB IT::
Bitcoin Crypto-currency & Block-chain Technology
Now, most people have heard about Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency. The technology behind Bitcoin and what makes it so potentially disruptive at so many levels is called block-chain, or also a distributed ledger. Block-chain, thus; is essentially a distributed database. Many of the Banks, nationally and internationally, have started taking steps towards adopting block-chain technology for their cross-border payment systems, to start with.
Today, there are several banks pursuing individual block-chain strategies. These individual initiatives will be meaningful when they are used by all the banks. For instance, a payment system such as NEFT cannot be successful if it is adopted by only one bank. Block-chain, the technology behind cyber currency Bitcoin, follows the concept of a centralized registry that can be accessed by all members, and every event is registered as an unalterable 'block'. Being the largest bank in India, SBI has taken the lead in initiating block-chain. Other banks in the country are following suit gradually.
All the subsequent events related to the loan can be put on the “block” so that members can take informed decisions. Another business where block-chain can be used as a tool is in trade finance where there's a risk of fraud with the merchant going to multiple banks with the same invoice to get the bill discounted. If documents are put on the block-chain, everyone will know which invoices have been discounted by Bank X and this could prevent multiple discounting frauds.

Broad Categories of Mutual Funds Open Ended Funds
These funds have no fixed corpus and period. Such fund
continuously offer units for sale and is ready to buy back the units
surrendered.
In other words, investors are free to buy from, or sell to, the
trust any number of units at any point of time at prices which are linked to
the net asset value (NAV) of the units.
➡Close Ended Funds:
In case of these funds, subscriptions from the investors are
collected during a specified time period and have a fixed corpus. Not a cannot
redeem their units till the specified maturity date. However, to provide
liquidity these are listed on the stock exchange and the investors can purchase
and sell through the brokers at the market price without any difficulty. It may
be noted that Unit Trust of India was the first mutual fund started in India as
early as 1964. Later, LIC, GIC and some nationalised banks also launched their
mutual funds with high degree of success. However, during post liberalisation
era, many private sector mutual funds have entered the fray. To mention a few.
these are: Birla Sun life, HDFC, HSBC, ICICI prudential, DSP Merrill Lynch, DBS
chola mutual Fund.
Major Types of Funds:
➡1) Equity Funds:
Equity Funds are considered to be the more risky funds as
compared to other fund types, but they also provide higher returns than other
funds. It is advisable that an investor looking to invest in an equity fund
should invest for long term i.e. for 3 years or more. There are different types
of Equity funds each falling into different risk bracket.
➡2) Debt/Income Funds :
Funds that invest in medium to long -term debt instruments
issued by private companies, banks , financial institution, government and
other entities belonging to various sector ( like infrastructure companies
etc.) are known as Debt /Income Funds. Debt funds are low risk profile funds
that seek to generate fixed current income (and not capital appreciation) to
investors. In order to ensure regular income to investors, Debt (or income)
funds distribute large fraction of their surplus to investors. Although debt
securities are generally less risky than equates, they are subject to credit
risk (risk to default) by the issuer at the time or interest or principal
payment. To minimize the risk of default, debt funds usually invest in
securities from issuers who are rated by credit rating agencies and are
considered to be of "Investment Grade ". Debt funds that target high
return are more risky.
➡3) Gilt Funds:
Also known as Government Securities in India, Gilt Funds invest
in government papers (named dated securities) having medium to long term
maturity period, issued by the Government of India , these investments have
little credit risk (risk of default) and provide safety of principal to the
investors
. However, like all debt funds, gilt funds too are exposed to
interest rate risk. Interest rates and prices of debt securities are inversely
related and any change in the interest rates results in a change in the NAV of
debt/ gilt funds in an opposite direction.
➡4) Money Market/Liquid Funds:
Money market /liquid funds invest in short -term (maturing
within one year) interest bearing debt instrument. These securities are highly
liquid and provide safety of investment, thus making investment option when
compared with other mutual /liquid funds are exposed to the interest rate risk.
The typical investment option for liquid funds include Treasury Bills (issued
by government), commercial papers (issued by companies) and certificates of
deposit (issued by banks).
➡5) Hybrid Funds:
As the name suggests, hybrid funds are those funds whose
portfolio includes a blend of equities, debts and money market securities.
Hybrid funds have an equal proportion of debt and equity in their portfolio.
➡6) Commodity Funds:
Those funds that focus on investing in different commodities
(like metals, food grains. crude oil etc.) or commodity companies or commodity
futures commodity are termed as commodity funds. A commodity fund that invests
in a single commodity or a group of commodities is a specialized commodity fund
and a commodity fund that invests in all available commodities is a diversified
commodity fund and bears less risk than a specialized commodity fund. “Precious
Metals Fund” and Gold Funds (that invest in gold, gold futures or shares of
gold mines) are common example of commodity funds.
➡7) Real Estate Funds:
Funds that invest directly in real estate or lend to real estate
developers or invest in shares /securitized assets of housing finance
companies, are known as specialized Real Estate funds. The objective of these funds
may be generate regular income or investors or capital appreciation.
➡8) Exchange Traded Funds (ETF):
Exchange traded funds provided investors with combined benefits
of a closed -end and an open -end mutual fund. Exchange traded funds follow
stock market indices and are traded on stock exchange like a single stock at
index linked prices. The biggest advantage offered by these funds is that they
offer diversification, flexibility of holding a single share (tradable at index
linked prices) at the same time. Recently introduced in India, these funds are
quite popular abroad.
➡9) Fund of funds:
Mutual funds that do not invest in financial or physical, but do
invest in other mutual fund schemes offered by different AMCs, are known as
fund of funds. Fund of Funds maintain a portfolio comprising of units of other
mutual fund scheme, just like conventional mutual funds maintain a portfolio
comprising of equity /debt money market instrument or non-financial assets.
Fund of Funds provide investor with an added advantage of diversifying into
different mutual fund schemes with even a small amount of investment, which
further helps in diversifying of risks. However, the expenses of fund of funds
are quite high on account of compounding expenses of investments into different
mutual fund schemes
