Hi list,
I have some problems with SERIALIZABLE isolation level, namely my users are plagued with concurrency errors. As of postgres 9.1 (which I'm running) there has been a change to SERIALIZABLE logic, unfortunately my application has not been updated to work with the new logic. I don't have an access to it's code and the only thing I can do is to report the issue to the authors. But before I do it, since I don't actually need SERIALIZABLE for my use, is it possible to have transactions always run in default READ COMMITTED mode, regardless of application level SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION command ... ? (like e.g in postgres 8.1 where SERIALIZABLE = READ COMMITED)
regards
