Consistency in ACID and CAP theorem, are they the same?

Question

From my understanding, the consistency in ACID is ensuring the data integrity.

However, the consistency in CAP means the data can appear quickly in distributed system.

Does that mean: they are not the same concept?

Answer 1

They are not really the same, because of the scope of the data

ACID

• Atomicity
• Consistency : All Applied Data Changes Provide Consistent View of Data For All DB Connections
• Isolation
• Durability

CAP

• Consistency (All Nodes Have Same Data via Eventual Consistency)
• Availability
• Partition-Tolerance : system continues to operate despite arbitrary message loss or failure of part of the system

SYNOPSIS

• ACID addresses an individual node's data consistency
• CAP addresses cluster-wide data consistency
