Interface Connection

public static final int TRANSACTION_NONE

This transaction isolation level indicates that transactions are not supported.

Field Value:

0

public static final int TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED

This transaction isolation level indicates that only committed data from other transactions will be read. If a transaction reads a row, then another transaction commits a change to that row, the first transaction would retrieve the changed row on subsequent reads of the same row.

Field Value:

2

public static final int TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED

This transaction isolation level indicates that one transaction can read modifications by other transactions before the other transactions have committed their changes. This could result in invalid reads.

Field Value:

1

public static final int TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ

This transaction isolation level indicates that only committed data from other transactions will be read. It also ensures that data read from a row will not be different on a subsequent read even if another transaction commits a change.

Field Value:

4

public static final int TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE

This transaction isolation level indicates that only committed data from other transactions will be read. It also ensures that data read from a row will not be different on a subsequent read even if another transaction commits a change. Additionally, rows modified by other transactions will not affect the result set returned during subsequent executions of the same WHERE clause in this transaction.

Field Value:

8
