Subject: SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=935829dae5d20bb3b4112bc8c18b02d188a1875f;p=users%2Fbernd%2Fpostgres.git

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;
                                ^^^^ required

Also note that SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL change
isolevel for _current_ transaction, in accordance with
standard, not for session (ALTER SESSION is used in Oracle,
but it's not implemented currently).

And I would don't mention SET XACTISOLEVEL TO ...
form at all.

Please update set.sgml - I failed to understand all these

SET TIME ZONE { '<REPLACEABLE CLASS="PARAMETER">

now.
