it will ensure that multiple queries produce the result consistent to the one point in time, but that transaction will not modify tables, so it doesn't have to put exclusive lock on them.
oracle has that in "set transaction read only" -- you don't have to wonder where i got it ;) useful for reports and stuff like that, where everything should 'fall in their place'. as i said, this could easily be just plain stupid in ORM. please don't get me wrong, i'm not asking for a feature, just putting in extra idea while you still drafting.
