    Read uncommitted or nolock on Oracle

    Hi,

    In SQL Server, I can do

    1. select * from tb_name (nolock)
    or
    2. SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL
    READ UNCOMMITTED

    To avoid blocking due to lengthy select operation.

    Do we have something like this in Oracle?

    Hi

    Oracle is different in this aspect.
    You dont require to do that as reads are not blocked.

    That's good to know.

    So even if I do, "select count(*) from tb_name", it's not going to affect any DML operation?

    Please advise.

    nope, reads do not blocks and writes do not block reads
