Testing Isolation Levels of Relational Database Management Systems
Summary: Evaluates correctness of ANSI SQL isolation levels (READ UNCOMMITTED to SERIALIZABLE) in modern RDBMS; critiques the definitions' clarity and vendor implementations. Proposes testable methodologies to detect under-/over-restrictive or incorrect isolation behavior. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
