How to get the current (default) transaction isolation level in oracle?
-
If you're looking for the current isolation level of a session, see this SO question: How can you see what transaction isolation level an arbitrary oracle session is using. – Vincent Malgrat Apr 14 '11 at 15:34

Are you looking for the default isolation level for transactions in a session or the isolation level of the current transaction in progress? – Leigh Riffel Apr 14 '11 at 19:55
Using the query from the SO answer Vincent Malgrat referenced, here is how you can get the transaction isolation level for the transaction in progress:
SELECT s.sid, s.serial#,
CASE BITAND(t.flag, POWER(2, 28))
WHEN 0 THEN 'READ COMMITTED'
ELSE 'SERIALIZABLE'
END AS isolation_level
FROM v$transaction t
JOIN v$session s ON t.addr = s.taddr AND s.sid = sys_context('USERENV', 'SID');
If you are not already in a transaction you can start one with the following:
declare
trans_id Varchar2(100);
begin
trans_id := dbms_transaction.local_transaction_id( TRUE );
end;
/
It seems like there would be an easier way than this. I don't know how to get the default isolation level for the session if that is what you are looking for.

-- I am using something like below
with q1 as ( select distinct name, isdefault, value ,decode(value,'serializable',SID,null) SID from V$SES_OPTIMIZER_ENV where lower(name) like '%isolation%' order by name ) select q1.* ,vs.status,vs.username,vs.OSUSER,vs.MACHINE,vs.TERMINAL,vs.PROGRAM from q1, v$session vs where q1.sid=vs.sid(+);
