Transaction Isolation Levels

303567Sep 2 2002
Hi Everyboody.

Oracle docs. say that Oracle supports three isolation levels and the isolation level should be set before the transaction begins with the SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL .....

Resource: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96524/c21cnsis.htm#2641

But I find that Oracle 9i supports only two isolation levels, viz. Read Committed and Serializable.

SQL> SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ ONLY
2 ;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ ONLY
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02179: valid options: ISOLATION LEVEL { SERIALIZABLE | READ COMMITTED }

Is READ ONLY isolatin level avalilable in Oracle 9i or is there any problem with my SET instruction?

Please help me at the earliest.

Have a nice day!
Kishore
