START


NAME

  START TRANSACTION - start a transaction block


SYNOPSIS

  START TRANSACTION [ ISOLATION LEVEL { READ COMMITTED | SERIALIZABLE } ] [ READ WRITE | READ ONLY ]


DESCRIPTION

  This command begins a new transaction. If the isolation level or read/write
  mode is specified, the new transaction has those characteristics, as if SET
  TRANSACTION [set_transaction(5)] was executed. In all other respects, the
  behavior of this command is identical to the BEGIN [begin(5)] command.


PARAMETERS

  See under SET TRANSACTION [set_transaction(5)] about the meaning of the
  parameters.


COMPATIBILITY

  This command conforms to the SQL standard; but see also the compatibility
  section of SET TRANSACTION [set_transaction(5)].


SEE ALSO

  BEGIN [begin(5)], COMMIT [commit(l)], ROLLBACK [rollback(l)], SET
  TRANSACTION [set_transaction(l)]
