Setting Isolation Levels
You can use the isolation() method of RWDBConnection to set the isolation level of the connection. Table 5 shows the mapping between the argument you pass for IsolationType, and the isolation level set by the MySQL statement SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL.
Table 5 – Setting the isolation level
RWDBConnection:: IsolationType

To determine the current isolation level, call RWDBConnection::isolation() without an argument.
