<ul><li>The CAP theorem states that a distributed database can provide only two out of the following three guarantees simultaneously: Consistency (C), Availability (A), and Partition Tolerance (P).</li><li>ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) ensure reliable processing of database transactions, primarily found in traditional relational databases.</li><li>BASE properties (Basically Available, Soft State, Eventual Consistency) prioritize availability and scalability over immediate consistency, suitable for distributed and NoSQL databases.</li><li>The choice between these models depends on the application's requirements: high availability and scalability (BASE) or strict reliability and accuracy (ACID).</li></ul>
