NAME
       START TRANSACTION - start a transaction block


SYNOPSIS
       START TRANSACTION [ ISOLATION LEVEL { READ COMMITTED | SERIALIZABLE } ] [ READ WRITE | READ ONLY ]


DESCRIPTION
       This  command  begins  a	 new  transaction.  If the isolation level or
       read/write mode is specified, the new transaction has those character-
       istics,	as  if	SET TRANSACTION [set_transaction(7)] was executed. In
       all other respects, the behavior of this command is identical  to  the
       BEGIN [begin(7)] command.

PARAMETERS
       See  under  SET	TRANSACTION [set_transaction(7)] about the meaning of
       the parameters.

COMPATIBILITY
       This command conforms to the SQL standard; but see also	the  compati-
       bility section of SET TRANSACTION [set_transaction(7)].

SEE ALSO
       BEGIN  [begin(7)],  COMMIT  [commit(l)],	 ROLLBACK  [rollback(l)], SET
       TRANSACTION [set_transaction(l)]
