Use the SET
TRANSACTION
statement to establish the current transaction as read only or read write, establish its isolation level, or assign it to a specified rollback segment.
The operations performed by a SET
TRANSACTION
statement affect only your current transaction, not other users or other transactions. Your transaction ends whenever you issue a COMMIT
or ROLLBACK
statement. Oracle implicitly commits the current transaction before and after executing a data definition language (DDL) statement.

If you use a SET
TRANSACTION
statement, then it must be the first statement in your transaction. However, a transaction need not have a SET
TRANSACTION
statement.

set_transaction::=
SET TRANSACTION { { READ { ONLY | WRITE } | ISOLATION LEVEL { SERIALIZABLE | READ COMMITTED } | USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT rollback_segment } [NAME 'test'] | NAME 'test' } ;
The READ
ONLY
clause establishes the current transaction as a read-only transaction. This clause established transaction-level read consistency.
All subsequent queries in that transaction only see changes committed before the transaction began. Read-only transactions are useful for reports that run multiple queries against one or more tables while other users update these same tables.
Note: This clause is not supported for the user |
Only the following statements are permitted in a read-only transaction:
SELECT
statements without the for_update_clause
)
LOCK
TABLE
SET
ROLE
ALTER
SESSION
ALTER
SYSTEM

Specify READ
WRITE
to establish the current transaction as a read/write transaction. This clause establishes statement-level read consistency, which is the default.
You cannot toggle between transaction-level and statement-level read consistency in the same transaction.
Use the ISOLATION
LEVEL
clause to specify how transactions containing database modifications are handled.
SERIALIAZBLE
setting specifies serializable transaction isolation mode as defined in the SQL92 standard. If a serializable transaction contains data manipulation language (DML) that attempts to update any resource that may have been updated in a transaction uncommitted at the start of the serializable transaction, then the DML statement fails.
Note: The |
READ
COMMITTED
setting is the default Oracle transaction behavior. If the transaction contains DML that requires row locks held by another transaction, then the DML statement waits until the row locks are released. Specify USE
ROLLBACK
SEGMENT
to assign the current transaction to the specified rollback segment. This clause also implicitly establishes the transaction as a read/write transaction.
This clause lets you to assign transactions of different types to rollback segments of different sizes. For example:
You cannot use the READ
ONLY
clause and the USE
ROLLBACK
SEGMENT
clause in a single SET
TRANSACTION
statement or in different statements in the same transaction. Read-only transactions do not generate rollback information and therefore are not assigned rollback segments.
Use the NAME
clause to assign a name to the current transaction. This clause is especially useful in distributed database environments when you must identify and resolve in-doubt transactions. The text
string is limited to 255 bytes.
If you specify a name for a distributed transaction, then when the transaction commits, the name becomes the commit comment, overriding any comment specified explicitly in the COMMIT
statement.
The following statements could be run at midnight of the last day of every month to count the products and quantities on hand in the Toronto warehouse in the sample Order Entry (oe
) schema. This report would not be affected by any other user who might be adding or removing inventory to a different warehouse.
COMMIT; SET TRANSACTION READ ONLY NAME 'Toronto'; SELECT product_id, quantity_on_hand FROM inventories WHERE warehouse_id = 5; COMMIT;
The first COMMIT
statement ensures that SET
TRANSACTION
is the first statement in the transaction. The last COMMIT
statement does not actually make permanent any changes to the database. It simply ends the read-only transaction.
The following statement assigns your current transaction to the rollback segment rs_one
:
SET TRANSACTION USE ROLLBACK SEGMENT rs_one;
