No, it doesn't. The quote you posted refers to the SERIALIZABLE
isolation level, but the default is READ COMMITTED. Unless you've
changed the default (and it appears that you haven't), then
transactions that don't set an isolation level will default to READ
COMMITTED.
The following command shows what isolation level the current
transaction is using:
SHOW transaction_isolation;
Try your example again, but issue the following command in transaction 1
before doing anything else:
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
