# READ UNCOMMITTED

`READ UNCOMMITTED` is one of the transaction isolation levels. `SELECT` statements are performed in a non-locking fashion, but a possible earlier version of a row might be used.

See [Isolation Levels](https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/administrative-sql-statements/set-commands/set-transaction#isolation-levels) for details.
