Syntax 

BEGIN {TRAN | TRANSACTION} [READ COMMITTED | READ REPEATABLE | SERIALIZABLE]

 

Description 

Start a (read committed by default) transaction. Changes within a transaction will either be entirely committed atomically, or aborted. 

Specifying READ COMMITTED, READ REPEATABLE, or SERIALIZABLE sets the transaction isolation level.
