Summary

Firebase Data Connect, now renamed SQL Connect, introduces atomic operations intended to maintain data consistency and reduce race conditions in collaborative or high-traffic applications. Numeric fields of types including Int, Int64, Float, Date, and Timestamp can be updated atomically with `inc` and `dec`, illustrated through banking balance changes. For non-Vector list fields, `prepend` and `append` insert items at the beginning or end, while `add` inserts an item only if it is not already present and `remove` deletes every matching occurrence. These operations are presented as tools for supporting common application features such as counters and to-do lists while making SQL Connect a more capable database service.
