TransactionIsolationLevel Enumeration

Specifies the value of the TransactionAttribute.

type TransactionIsolationLevel
Member nameDescription
AnyThe isolation level for the component is obtained from the calling component's isolation level. If this is the root component, the isolation level used is Serializable.
ReadUncommittedShared locks are issued and no exclusive locks are honored.
ReadCommittedShared locks are held while the data is being read to avoid reading modified data, but the data can be changed before the end of the transaction, resulting in non-repeatable reads or phantom data.
RepeatableReadLocks are placed on all data that is used in a query, preventing other users from updating the data. Prevents non-repeatable reads, but phantom rows are still possible.
SerializablePrevents updating or inserting until the transaction is complete.

The following code example demonstrates the use of the TransactionIsolationLevel type.
