In database systems, durability is the ACID property that guarantees that transactions that are successfully committed will survive permanently and will not be undone by system failure.
Durability also guarantees that the system will not rollback the transaction because the seat was double-booked.
Durability is usually implemented by flushing the transaction's log records to disk before acknowledging commitment.
