Hi,
ANSI SQL92 standard defines four levels of transaction isolation levels. The first and the "dirtiest" is what you describe. Oracle does not support this level. It's said that MS SQL server does. Oracle only supports Read Committed (default) and Serializable, plus a non-ANSI standard Read Only.
For more information, read Chapter 24 Data Concurrency and Consistency of the

Subject: Dirty reads
Is there any way to say I want a select that won't look at the rollback segment? The user doesn't care if it's a dirty read.
