Default Isolation Level in Oracle
and how does it defer from SQL Server 2005 ? I have heard that Snapshot
Isolation is Oracles default but has some differences. What are they ? If
Snapshot Isolation is Oracles default, why could it not be considered to be
default for SQL Server ?
ThanksHello,
Snapshot Isolation is equalent to Rollback segment in Oracle. By default in
SQL Server the isolation level is Read committed. Incase if you are planning
to use
Snapshot isolation you should really plan to size the TempDB database, this
is because the entire row versioning is handled in Tempdb.
Thanks

Also, snapshot generates
potentially a lot of I/O in tempdb, so it is not a panacea.

I don't see the usage of tempdb as an "issue". Using snapshot, you do a cons
cious trade. You buy
concurrency and pay with resource usage. In order to use either of the snaps
hot types, SQL Server
need to keep track of old values for all modifications in the database. I wo
uldn't want this on by
default.
So, it is not as much a matter of the default for the client app (ADO etc),
it is more whether we
want this defaulted on for a database.
Also, I don't find it realistic to change such an integral part of the produ
ct as the isolation
level. The change would have to be between two releases, and that would imme
diately affect most of
the apps out there. Unless you refer to RCSI (and not pyre snapshot), but I
haven't investigated
RCSI closely enough to say whether you truly get the same behavior across th
e board for traditional
RC compared to RCSI.

Snapshot was introduced in SQL Server 2005. If this would be the new default, it would break tens of
thousands of existing applications. Backwards compatibility is a big thing. Also, snapshot generates
potentially a lot of I/O in tempdb, so it is not a panacea.

Hi Kevin,
The answer to your question is NO.
May I ask why you wish to change this default isolation level? What specific issues are you facing?
Hope this helps,
-Eric Cárdenas
SQL Server support|||Hi Kevin,
Thank you for using MSDN Newsgroup! It's my pleasure to assist you with
your issue.
Eric is right that you cannot change the server default isolation level.
Here I'd like to add some more information.
The server setting is in effect unless overridden at a lower level.
1) Server level is always "Read Committed" - there is no way to change it.
2) Database level is always at the server level - there is no way to change
it.
3) For a given connection, use "DBCC USEROPTIONS" to see options that are
"SET", anything not listed is at the default server level.
4) For a given query, locking hints can use used to change the isolation
level.
I hope this information would answer your question and if you need more
help, please feel free to post any new message here and I am ready to
provide help.
Best regards

Default field to another field value on db level
I need to create a new field on a table and have that field default to another field value in that same table. Is there a way to do this w/ a default constraint rather than adding a trigger to the table? If i can't use a default constraint does anyone have a template trigger i could use? Below is an example of what i'm trying to do (Field_C is the new field and i want it to use Field_A value if no other value is specified on insert). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
alter table FOO add Field_C varchar(50) not null constraint FOO_default DEFAULT Field_A
thanks,
Davethis worked for me.....
CREATE Trigger TRG_FOO_default_INS
on dbo.FOO
for Insert
as
Declare @.default_FieldC varchar(50)
select @.default_FieldC = Field_C from inserted
If (@.default_FieldC is null) or (@.default_FieldC = '')
BEGIN
Update FOO set Field_C = Field_A where PK_ID in (select PK_ID from inserted)
END -- update externalname

decimal datatpe with less than or equal
I have a field whose datatype is decimal.
I am trying to see if the value is less than or equal to zero. I am
getting Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
Here is what I was doing
select field1=
CASE WHEN table2.MaxLabrHrs<=0.00
THEN table1.field2* table2.LaborAmount
end
I am not sending DDL hoping that it will be easy fix.
Problem is here when I put : table2.MaxLabrHrs<=0.00
Field MaxLabrHrs is decimal datatype (9,2).
If I put only less than then it works.
Thanks a million in advance.
Best regards,
mamun>> I am not sending DDL hoping that it will be easy fix.
It may not be. The error might be to generated from another section of the
code. It might be worthwhile to check the datatypes & data in the field2
column as well as the LaborAmount column.
Anith|||I don't think it's that column that's giving the error.
What types are the "field2" and "LaborAmount" columns you mention?
It's most likely that some row where MaxLabrHrs=0 has an unconvertible
varchar column.
And it would be easier to fix with DDL, btw ;)

Yes, the field2 in the table1 is numeric.
Is there anything I can do without changing the numeric datatype in the
table1?
If not then I will change that to decimal.
Thanks again,
best regards,
mamun|||NUMERIC & DECIMAL are well compatible and so that is a non-issue. You might
want to check the data in all involved columns. Also check the datatype of
the LaborAmount as well.
If you still find it a problem, consider posting the table DDLs & some
sample data.
Anith|||The following codes were written from Mr. Anith Sen's help probably two
years ago (or more). Then it became necessity to use another field
MaxLabrHrs in the criteria table.
This is the code I am using:
select V_LABCST=
CASE WHEN t2.LaborIndicator = 'R' AND t2.LaborAmount > 0.00 and
t2.MaxLabrHrs <=0.00
THEN t1.V_APPLBRHRS * t2.LaborAmount
WHEN t2.LaborIndicator = 'R' and (t2.LaborAmount=0.00 or
t2.LaborAmount='' or t2.LaborAmount is null) and t2.MaxLabrHrs <=0.00
THEN t1.V_APPLBRHRS * t3.Labor_Rate
WHEN t2.LaborIndicator = 'R' and t2.MaxLabrHrs>0.00
THEN CASE
WHEN t1.V_APPLBRHRS<t2.MaxLabrHrs THEN
t1.V_APPLBRHRS * t3.Labor_Rate
WHEN t1.V_APPLBRHRS>t2.MaxLabrHrs THEN
t2.MaxLabrHrs * t3.Labor_Rate
END
END
from Filtered_Data_Hold t1
JOIN Criteria t2
ON t1.Supplier_ID = t2.SupplierID
join Claims t3 on t1.Claim_Number=t3.Claim_Number
where t1.Claim_Number='1I23456'
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Criteria] (
[Supplier_ID] [varchar] (10) NOT NULL ,
[LaborIndicator] [char] (2) ,
[LaborAmount] [decimal](8, 2) NULL ,
[MaxLabrHrs] [decimal](9, 2) NOT NULL
)
Insert into criteria('AX812', 'R', 67.00 , .66)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Filtered_Data_Hold] (
[Claim_Number] [char] (9) NOT NULL ,
[Supplier_ID] [char] (7) NULL ,
[Req_Lab_Hrs] [numeric](6, 1) NOT NULL ,
[V_APPLBRHRS] [numeric](6, 1) NOT NULL ,
[V_LABCST] [numeric](10, 2) NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
insert Filtered_Data_Hold('1I23456', 'AX812', 1.0, 1.0, 67.00)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Claims] (
[Claim_Number] [char] (9) NOT NULL ,
[VAppLabr_Hrs] [numeric](6, 1) NOT NULL
)
Insert Claims ('1I23456', 1.0)
I want the result to be 67.00*.66=44.22 (when there is max labor hours
in the criteria table greater than 0.00, I want to multiply max labour
hours with the labor rate).
Thanks a ton for your help.
