# Data Persistence

Data persistence means that in a DBMS all data is maintained as long as it is not deleted explicitly. The life span of data needs to be determined directly or indirectly be the user and must not be dependent on system features. Additionally data once stored in a database must not be lost.
Changes of a database which are done by a transaction are persistent. When a transaction is finished even a system crash cannot put the data in danger.
