When working with a relational database management system , it is very important to understand the concept of isolation levels. The isolation levels become even more important while working on transactional database systems. The isolation levels might seem very basic but it effects are more paramount as one starts to view the big picture especially a critical transactional database. It is very important to provide consistency and concurrency for the users of the transactional system. There are some basic isolation levels which are provided in SQL Server:
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITEDSET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITED (the default setting in SQL Server)SET
SET
There are some newer isolation levels provided in more recent versions of SQL Server. I visted a older article but very relevant as one dealing with transactions, here is the link: The article has been written by Kalen Delaney, she is a sql server expert:http://www.sqlmag.com/article/tsql3/transaction-isolation-levels
I would encourage one to try out the examples in the article, it gives a good understanding of how isolation works. TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE. TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ
