There are multiple ways through which we can maintain the integrity of data as we perform data updates. One of the easiest methods for this that we can implement is through the use of transactions, which allow us to make a number of updates in an atomic transaction, where either all of the updates in the transaction are applied or none are applied.

In the case that one of the updates inside the transaction fails, the previously applied updates inside the transaction are rolled back as well, thereby maintaining a consistent state of relations across the database.
