Hi, When MVCC is disabled, see http://h2database.com/html/advanced.html#transaction_isolation
When MVCC is enabled, then H2 behaves in the same way as with read committed. At least currently. In the future this may change. See also http://h2database.com/html/advanced.html#mvcc for details Regards, Thomas Thomas, I just want to make sure that you don't lose track of this question (since you replied to a follow-up discussion): what is the difference between SERIALIZABLE isolation when MVCC is on or off?
