isolation level

  • How do i set transaction isolation for just 1 database to snapshot.

    does it has any dis advantages

  • is this all we have to do

    ALTER DATABASE

    SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON

  • How do i check isolation level of a database?

  • Following query shows whether SNAPSHOT is enabled or not:

    select [name], is_read_committed_snapshot_on, snapshot_isolation_state, snapshot_isolation_state_desc

    from sys.databases

    where [name] = 'AdventureWorks'

  • Downside is that snapshot isolation puts extra load on your TempDB
