You can enable uncommitted read (dirty read) if needed. By default it is disabled. Enabling uncommitted read allows you to read the values from the first transaction in a multi-transaction process before the changed values are committed.
Before you enable uncommitted read:
Understand the implications of uncommitted read (or dirty read) - for example, it is only for transactions that are slow or if the possibility of errors are low.
Verify that your database supports uncommitted read. Consult with their DBA or database vendor for additional information.
