Hi Charlie,

I'm still confused. What behavior do you see with the delay-updates set to false? If the database doesn't support read-uncommitted, an application (weblogic) cannot override this.

No, the database doesn't support the read-uncommited isolation level but
bea, the ejb2.1 provider, had a weblogic specific setting

"<delay-updates-until-end-of-tx>false</delay-updates-until-end-of-tx>"

which simulated a read-uncommited isolation level. I'm not sure why the designers of the system chose this route but it is making it difficult to
upgrade.

I appreciate your insight. thanks,
Charlie

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the help.  Let me see if I understand correctly.

1.  our oracle 10g database only supports "read committed",
"serializable"
and "read only" tranasction isolation levels.
2. on the "write side", issuing an entitymanager.flush(), forces the
changes to the database.

my question: "I thought since the underlying database is set to
"read-committed", after executing the flush, only connections within
the
current transaction would be able to read the changes to the
database until
commit time."  Is this correct?

That's my understanding as well. And that's what I thought you were
asking for. It exactly matches the behavior you described for "set
delay-updates-until-end-of-tx to false".

If you want dirty reads, the database has to support the read-
uncommitted isolation level. Are you migrating from a database that
supports read-uncommitted?

Regards,

Craig
