+### withTransaction - How to Specify Isolation levels
+
+By default, all transactions run with `TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED`isolation level. The following shows how to specify a higher one:
+
+```kotlin
+  db.withTransaction(isolationLevel = Db.IsolationLevel.TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ) 
+
+  db.withTransaction(isolationLevel = Db.IsolationLevel.TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE) 
+```
+
+When the transaction is over, isolation level is restored to the default, TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED.

 ## DataSource configuration & AutoCommit
 
 A dataSource has a default setting for the autocommit flag which can be configured. But the individual connections can
