Application-controlled Transactions, Isolation Level And Commit/rollbacks
Jun 29, 2007
If application code controls all transaction processing to SQL Server, so it starts a transaction, does any commit or rollback on teh application side, how does that actually work ON SQL Server 2005... Meaning, If the app passes in a isolation level of Repeatable Read, and the database default is different, how can I see what is being used, as a DBA? Can I see any of that via Profiler? can I see when those commits/rollbacks are issued from teh application. They are not sending in "SQL" commit/rollback transaction commands. It's built-in to their architecture to control all that... How can I see what's happening on the database if these are not SQL commands for transaction handling? and how does that work, to start a transaction on the app side, and hold locks etc, on SQL Server if normal SQL Server commands are not being sent? If anyone can point me at decent references to read on that, thanks! Bruce

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that all distributed transactions are executed at Serializable Isolation Level "under the covers."
1. Is this true?
2. What does "under the covers" mean in this case; i.e. will I not see the isolation level represented accurately in requests?

I'm investigating a poorly performing procedure that I have never seen before. The procedure sets the transaction isolation level, and I suspect it might be doing so incorrectly, but I can't be sure. I'm pasting a bastardized version of the proc below, with all the names changed and the SQL mucked up enough to get through the corporate web filters.
The transaction isolation level is set, but there is no explicit transaction. Am I right that there are two implicit transactions in this procedure and each of them uses snapshot isolation?
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SNAPSHOT;
DECLARE @l_some_type varchar(20),
@some_type_code varchar(3),
@error int,
@error_msg varchar(50);
[Code] .....

lets say user1 is reading row1, then user2 reads and updates row1, when user1 is about to update row1 i want him to be informed that his copy of row1 have been updated, so he has now the options to either get the new version of row1 or cancel his update process.

Hi, folks. Please guide.
I have a VB application that is used for production and reporting. I 've been having alerts for deadlocks that popup after every 2 or 3 minutes. I am planning to seperate reporing server by using transactional replication from production server to the reporting server. However some reports update and insert data so i need reporting server to be enabled for DML.
Is there any option on the server-level where i can force each user to operate in READ-UNCOMMITTED mode instead of specifying WITH (NOLOCK) in the queries of my application. Dirty reads won't bother me in current situation, i guess the propotion of fast reads would be a better trade-off.
New to SQL, Thanx for helping!!
Howdy.

begin transaction
select ........etc
commit
structure when l wrtite queries.My problem is that if l close the query analyser it asks me to commit transaction before l exit. Why?
How do you check for uncommitted trans and commit them?

Hello all,
What is the TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL settings for MSSQL like the default setting in Oracle. In Oracle the default setting allows one session to read consistent data without waiting for the other sessions to commit/rollback the data.
For eg: In Mssql, if I update table A in the first session, and in another session (second session) if I select from table A, the second session waits till the first session completes the updates and commit or rollbacks.
But in Oracle , if I update table A in the first session, and in another session (second session) if I select from table A, the second session will perform a read from the ROLLBACK SEGS and give a read consistent data without waiting for the first session to commit or rollback the transaction.
Is this type of behaviour is possible is MSSQL. And If YES how can I do it?
Thanks for any help

Not sure if this is more a .Net question or SQL Server, but I think it belongs here.
I have a small .Net app that reads records from a bunch of files from disk and inserts them into a database table. There could be several hundred files resulting in 100,000 records or more each time its run. Since it's a large table there are of course a few indexes on it so the insert takes a while. For larger sessions it could run as long as an hour. I need it to run in a transaction so that if anything happens while it's running the records from that run were committed on an all or nothing basis. However, I don't want to lock the table at all while the insert is happening. These aren't transaction records or anything like that, and the batches are separated by client so there will be no conflicts (no need to lock the table).
Unfortunately, no matter what I use for the isolation level of the transaction the table always ends up locked for reads. Data from previous runs is live at this point and we can't allow that. I have the choice of the following isolation levels when I create the transaction, but none seems to work:
Chaos
ReadCommitted
ReadUncommitted
RepeatableRead
Serializable
Snapshot
Unspecified
I would expect Chaos, ReadUncommitted, or Snapshot be okay here, but I can't seem to get it working. Any thoughts?

Hi,I have 1 SQL statement selecting data from various tables and updating othertables.The question then is how do I prevent other applications from modifying thetables that I'm working on (that is while my transaction is being executed)?I know that the isolation level should be either REPEATABLE READ orSERIALIZABLE. But I need confirmation on if one of these actually solve myissue - prevents other applications/threads from modifying/inserting datainto the same tables that I'm working on.Thanks in advance,Daniel

Hi,
I would like to be able to alter the default isolation level at connection time via the ADO connection string. Can this be done?
Why? I have various reporting applications (Crystal etc.) that queries against MS SQL server using ADO (SQLOLEDB). I would like to be able to alter the isolation level for these queries to readuncommitted. But many of the reporting applications does not have this option and they autogenerate the SQL making it impossible to use the use the WITH(table_hints) clause in the SELECT statement. So if I could set the isolation level in the connection string this could be a workaround.
Any help will be appreciated!

Many times i write stoted procedures with transaction blocks.
I have delete a row after begin transaction and in continue i
read from table the select statement get back the deleted row:

the sum(balance) function has calculate the balance of row 3
I use SQL 7.0

I have a series of questions about SSIS and transactions. The answers to these questions are probably so obvious that I can't see them, so please feel free to just point out what it is that I'm missing. My transaction-processing experience is very low-level, so I'm probably just not seeing how it's done at the high level of SSIS.
The first question is one that I may know the answer to, so please confirm:
Consider a package with TransactionOption set to Supported. It contains a single Execute SQL Task with TransactionOption set to Required. Is it true that if that Execute SQL Task succeeds, that the transaction commits, and that if the task fails, the transaction rolls back?
Consider another package with TransactionOption set to Supported. It contains a Sequence Container with TransactionOption set to Required. That container contains our same Execute SQL Task, but that is joined to a script task by a "success" precedence constraint. The script task simply returns Dts.Results.Failure. Is it the case that the transaction will roll back? That is, is it truly a simple failure result that would initiate the rollback?
If a DataFlow Task is the one that is set to Required, does that mean that every transactional operation within that task will commit in a single transaction? For instance, if I'm inserting five rows for each input record from a flat file, and if my flat file has 1000 records in it, will I see a single transaction with 5,000 rows?
Thanks for your patience!

Is there any way to confirm the isolation level of a given connection from outside of the connection itself?
As far as I can see, DBCC USEROPTIONS only returns information regarding the current connection.
I am troubleshooting a locking issue and it would be very helpful to me if I could check the isolation level of any given connection.
Thanks in advance for any help.

By setting the TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED; is this automatically sets all the joined tables to NOLOCK?
Or, in order this statement to work right, this needs to be only done inside BEGIN TRAN > COMMIT (ROLLBACK) statement?

To all SQL gurus:I have a Windows Service that uses a single SQL Server table toretrieve items of work. Each thread of the service checks this tablefor the earliest item of work that is not already in process, marksthat item as in process, then begins to work the item. My concern iswhether the threads will begin to step on each other's toes by pickingthe same item of work at the same time. To prevent this, I use thefollowing SQL table:[WorkItems]WorkItem varchar(512)DateSubmitted datetimeStatus intIn requesting the next work item, I use the following SQL syntax:DECLARE @workitem varchar(512)SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLEBEGIN TRANSACTIONSELECT TOP 1 @workitem=WorkItemName FROM WorkItems WHERE Status=1ORDER BY DateSubmittedUPDATE WorkItems SET Status=2 WHERE WorkItemName=@workitemSELECT * FROM WorkItems WHERE WorkItemName=@workitemCOMMIT TRANSACTIONThe idea is that the Transaction Isolation Level, along with the threestatements in the transaction block, will only let one thread at atime request the next work item. The three statements in thetransaction block select the next work item, mark it as in process,then return the work item to the calling thread. In limited testing,all seems well. Before going into production, however, I would like tosee if anyone can confirm that my ideas will indeed prevent threadsfrom duplicating each other's work.Will the above SQL syntax allow me to run multiple threads all lookingto the same database table for work, but prevent them from selectingany of the same work at the same time? If you need more information,please ask.Reply to newsgroup, or directly at Join Bytes!.Matthew Roberts

Is there a way to alter the isolation level of a data source? I have queries with nolock hints that I would like to remove in favor of "set isolation level read uncommitted" but this is not allowed in the report builder. I cannot move to SPs as I'm working in a third-party apps database. I guess I'm wishing for the SSIS style of isolation setting where it's a member of the properties.

Hello all.
I'm a litle confused about what's best to use, either isolation levels or locking per table.
Cause there are some queries in the stored procedures where I don't need locking i.e. when I check the status of client, but other queries where I do need locking like when I check the existence of a product.
What's best to use, can I combine both? Could you explain it thecnically?
lots of thanks in advance

I need to set the Isolation Level (in ADO) for the Non-transaction queries to SNAPSHOT.
Both the ADO.Connection.IsolationLevel Property and the SQL Server SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL command set the Isolation Level for the Transaction queries but no for the non-transaction queries.
I cannot use the READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT database option, becaus when I am in a transaction I need the READ COMMITTED Isolation Level not the SNAPSHOT Isolation Level.
I don't want to rewrite the entire code of my existing application to add (NOLOCK).
Thanks,

Hello,
it it possible to to set for appropriate linked server fixed isolation level. Somewhere in linked server settings?
Say, if I want for every query from server SQLServer_A to linked server SQLServer_B to run with isolation level read uncommited.
It's clear, that I can state in very procedure, that uses SQLServer_B "set transaction isolation level read uncommitted". But it's not a way out, as I have thousand stored procedures writted a long time ago.
For the time being SQLServer_A is 2000 SP4 version and SQLServer_B (linked) 2005 SP2a version.
May be it is possible for both servers of 2005 version only?
Many thanks!

Are there really any benefit on using Read Uncommitted Isolation Level or having a NOLOCK hints for retrieve queries when the default Isolation level just Read Committed (not using COM+). I'm confused why the Community Server uses this technique perhaps for perf issues but I couldn't see any reason why...

I have a question about the "readCommitted" transaction isolation level.I have a client that is updating a record on a table.I suspend the execution after the UPDATE but before the commit statement.Than another client is trying to read the same record.As transaction isolation is set to "readCommited" I expected that the secondclient will read the old version of the record (before the update).Instead, the second client hangs and wait until the first client do thecommit.I expect this behavior if transaction isolation is set to "serializable"Is this behavior correct?Thanks,D.

Hi everyone,
I'm seeing that for DTS (2000) are Read-Commited and for SSIS is Serializable.
Could you please confirm that?
Along with this I see another little thing: by default too on a DTS packages you have "Limit the maxim number of tasks executed in parallel to: 4"
How to understand this topic thinking on SSIS?
Thanks a lot for your time,

Hope this is the right forum. I'm using Transaction=required on a page which inserts on multiple tables, 2 of which have a foreign key relationship. All works fine as log as I don't input erroneous data. However, I have a range check in the code, and if the range is exceeded, an exception is thrown and the transaction fails using ContextUtil.SetAbort(). I then correct the data and try to save and get a Foreign key contraint error. I have debugged and the primary key table seems to be carrying out the insert ok (I'm retreiving the key at that point, and can see it). But when I use the key in the child table it fails and cites the foreign key relationship.
I suspect that having the same data for the primary key table 2nd time around means it doesn't think it has to commit????
Grateful for any help. I'm using Sqlserver 2005 by the way.
