"innovative Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI) level"
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/mvcc-intro.html
Description:
The documentation page:
__https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/mvcc-intro.html
makes a reference to the term "innovative Serializable Snapshot Isolation
(SSI) level"
I can't find that anywhere in the documentation. I am expecting to find it
here:
__https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/transaction-iso.html
or here:
__https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-set-transaction.html
But there is nothing.
A search for the term "innovative Serializable Snapshot Isolation (SSI)
level":
__https://www.postgresql.org/search/?q=Serializable+Snapshot+Isolation+
produces a lengthy listing, demonstrating that the term is used throughout
the documentation. But there is no entry in the documentation that defines
the term, or that defines the commands required to use it.
It is important to know:
a. if this is an ANSI/ISO/SQL Transaction Isolation Level
b. or if it is an extension
c. or if it is neither
d. how to use it

Uh, it is here:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/transaction-iso.html#XACT-SERIALIZABLE
"innovative" is not part of the name.

Some more information was also recently added to provide references,
but it hasn't rolled out to the version 12 documentation website yet.
You can see it in the development version, though:

Here's the commit:
