REPEATABLE READ

Learn repeatable reads.

REPEATABLE READ

REPEATABLE READ ensures re-reading a row gives the same value. It prevents non-repeatable reads.

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ;

No non-repeatable read, phantom exists.

REPEATABLE READ — details

Phantom read: new rows may be added, the same query may return more rows.

For example, if you count orders twice with COUNT(*), the second count can differ when another transaction inserts a new order in between.

Practice REPEATABLE READ

Set the isolation level to REPEATABLE READ.

Starter code

query.sql
-- high level
SET

Sample solution

query.sql
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ;

Expected output
