Answer from AI
The main transaction isolation levels in database management systems are:
- Read Uncommitted — a transaction can see changes made by other transactions even if they are not yet committed (possible dirty reads).
- Read Committed — a transaction only sees committed changes, preventing dirty reads.
- Repeatable Read — guarantees that data read in a transaction will not change until the transaction completes, preventing non-repeatable reads.
- Serializable — the strictest level, transactions are executed as if they were sequential, preventing phantom reads.
Each level balances between performance and data integrity.
