Immediate Consistency

Foreign keys

yes

relationships in graphs

yes

via ReferenceProperties or Ancestor paths

Support to ensure data integrity after non-atomic manipulations of data

ACID

Serializable Isolation within Transactions, Read Committed outside of Transactions

multiple readers, single writer

yes

yes, multi-version concurrency control (MVCC)

yes

Durability
