PostGIS works with the standard PostgreSQL transaction system, thus you
may consult the PostgreSQL documentation whether it supports all the
ACID levels you need.

AFAIK, all operations defined by current OpenGIS specification, and some
more are supported by PostGIS.

See http://www.postgis.org/docs/c671.html for a rather up-to-date
listing.

HTH,
