I assume you're using SIMPLE datasource. With that data source, the isolation level is set as a driver default. I just did a quick test with HSQLDB and the default seems to be TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED - a middle of the road isolation level. Maybe there is some setting on the Sybase driver that will allow you to change the default isolation level?
Alternatively, you can do it in code like this: try { sqlMapClient.startTransaction(Connection.TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED); -- do some work } finally { sqlMapClient.endTransaction(); } If you are using some other datasource (like JNDI), then you'll need to look to that datasource for information about changing the isolation level.
