Understanding transaction isolation is critical if you want to write highly concurrent software, administer databases like a pro, and impress your neighbors. We’ll discuss the benefits and problems of each isolation level in SQL Server. We’ll talk about practical changes you can make to provide the right level of concurrency for your users. We’ll focus on how to identify applications which are good candidates for optimistic locking, and how to plan, execute, and monitor changes in your default isolation level.
