its explained in detail in the concepts document. I cant remember myself. Every time I read it, I forget.

otn.oracle.com just do a search of the documentation for Isolation level then look in the concepts doc. There are 3 levels I believe.

Most databases today provide various levels of transaction isolation.  READ WRITE, READ ONLY etc and based on the application requirements one or the other is used.
 
for example, in Oracle Rdb, (the other database from Oracle), we could start a transaction with READ ONLY and the Rdb engine would avoid creation of before and after images etc.
 
What are the various types of isolation levels in Oracle? I have read about isolation level called READ COMMITTED, is this same as READ ONLY?
