DIFFERENT ISOLATION LEVELS AND ITS BEHAVIOUR.

READ UNCOMMITTED is the least restrictive isolation level because it ignores locks placed by other transactions. Transactions executing under READ UNCOMMITTED can read modified data values that have not yet been committed by other transactions; these are called "dirty" reads. READ COMMITTED is the default isolation level for SQL Server . It prevents dirty reads by specifying that statements cannot read data values that have been modified but not yet committed by other transactions. Other transactions can still modify, insert, or delete data between executions of individual statements within the current transaction, resulting in non-repeatable reads, or "phantom" data. REPEATABLE READ is a more restrictive isolation leve l than READ COMMITTED. It encompasses READ COMMITTED and additionally specifies that no other transactions can modify or delete data that has been read by the current transaction until the current transaction commits. Concurrency is lowe
