I know.


I believe

I know.

;-)


The reason why I'm asking is:

- The term "REPEATABLE READ" isn't used in any isolation level related
documents with Firebird/InterBase I've found

- Helen's book says (p. 523): "Mapping to the standard governance of
REPEATABLE READ and SERIALIZABLE is not possible."


So, where is the difference between SNAPSHOT and REPEATABLE READ. ;-)


Thanks,
Thomas
