Hi,

this is a patch that avoids getting an undeserved PSQLException when setting
the transaction isolation level on a connection:

*/
public void setTransactionIsolation(int level) throws SQLException
{
+ if (level == getTransactionIsolation())
+ return;
if (protoConnection.getTransactionState() !=
ProtocolConnection.TRANSACTION_IDLE)
throw new PSQLException(GT.tr("Cannot change transaction
isolation level in the middle of a transaction."),
PSQLState.ACTIVE_SQL_TRANSACTION);


It applies to the case when a connection is reused within a connection pool
and some of its properties are automatically reset before the connection is
handed to the requesting party.
Example: the default DriverManagerConnectionProvider in Hibernate.

Regards.
