MSSQL - Understanding Isolation Level By Example (Serializable)

Example SQL Statements below used in the video, you can Copy and Paste for Transaction Isolation Level of Serializable, Read Committed, Read Uncommitted, Repeatable Read

--=====================================
-- Windows/Session #1
--=====================================

DROP TABLE SampleTable

CREATE TABLE [SampleTable]
(
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Name] [varchar](100) NULL,
[Value] [varchar](100) NULL,
[DateChanged] [datetime] DEFAULT(GETDATE()) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_SampleTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)
)

INSERT INTO SampleTable(Name, Value)
SELECT 'Name1', 'Value1'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Name2', 'Value2'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Name3', 'Value3'

SELECT * FROM SampleTable
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO SampleTable(Name, Value) VALUES('Name4', 'Value4')
--UPDATE SampleTable SET Name = Name + Name
--UPDATE SampleTable SET Name = Name + Name WHERE Name = 'Name1'
UPDATE SampleTable SET Name = Name + Name WHERE ID = 2
DELETE FROM SampleTable WHERE ID = 4
WAITFOR DELAY '00:0:10'
COMMIT TRAN

--=====================================
-- Windows/Session #2
--=====================================

---------------------------------------------------
-- This window/session is default READ COMMITTED --
---------------------------------------------------

BEGIN TRAN
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
ROLLBACK



--=====================================
-- Windows/Session #3
--=====================================

-----------------------------------------------------
-- This window/session is REPEATABLE READ --
-----------------------------------------------------

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ
BEGIN TRAN
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'
SELECT * FROM SampleTable
COMMIT TRAN

--=====================================
-- Windows/Session #4
--=====================================

-----------------------------------------------------
-- This window/session is SERIALIZABLE --
-----------------------------------------------------

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE

Finally a clear and to the point video on this subject. THANK YOU!

[babykiller]

The professor spent 2 lectures for this and I still ended up watch this great video. Thanks !!!!
