📌 SQL Challenge - Understanding Isolation Levels

Understanding SQL Isolation Levels

SQL isolation levels control how transactions interact with each other, preventing issues like dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads.

🔹 Where It’s Used in Real-World Applications?

✅ Banking Transactions – Ensuring balance consistency across accounts.
✅ E-commerce Inventory – Preventing duplicate or incorrect stock updates.
✅ Data Warehousing – Ensuring stable query results during data ingestion.

Run & Test on onecompiler.com

1️⃣ Open onecompiler.com, select SQL (PostgreSQL or MySQL).
2️⃣ Copy and paste the SQL query below:

-- Step 1: Start a transaction
START TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;

-- Step 2: Create a Sales Table
CREATE TABLE sales (
    sale_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    product VARCHAR(50),
    amount DECIMAL(10,2)
);

-- Step 3: Insert Sample Data
INSERT INTO sales VALUES
(1, 'Laptop', 1200.00),
(2, 'Phone', 800.00);

-- Step 4: Simulate Isolation Level Behavior
SELECT * FROM sales;

-- Step 5: Commit the transaction
COMMIT;

3️⃣ Click Run and analyze the results.

What’s Happening in the Output?

✔ READ COMMITTED prevents uncommitted data from being read.
✔ The COMMIT ensures data persistence after the transaction.

🔹 Optimizations & Best Practices

✅ Use READ COMMITTED for general OLTP databases.
✅ Use SERIALIZABLE for high consistency (but beware of performance impact).
✅ Optimize indexing to minimize contention.
