That makes sense, doesn't it?
I don't think there is any database that would allow to change the isolation level
in the middle of a transaction.
I tested with Oracle:
SELECT ....
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01453: SET TRANSACTION must be first statement of transaction
I think you will have to make sure that the SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL
statement is the first statement issued in the transaction.
