Read lines till a blank line is encountered
Hi,
I have reached at a specified offset from the start of file. My requirement is that I want to read only those lines, which have the string READ / ALTER / UPDATE. As soon as, none of these literals are found in the subsequent line, I want to stop reading. Is there any feature of grep which can help me do this?
I saw one post in which someone has suggested using sed command. I could not follow it.
Please suggest.
tail -n $remPart filename.txt | head -n 100 | ............
The part in red is what I want. This should ideally be the terminating condition..
TIA
Saurabh

set_transaction
SET
TRANSACTION(7) SQL Commands SET TRANSACTION(7)
NAME
SET TRANSACTION - set the characteristics of the current transaction
SYNOPSIS
SET TRANSACTION transaction_mode [, ...]
SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS AS TRANSACTION transaction_mode [, ...]
where transaction_mode is one of:
ISOLATION LEVEL { SERIALIZABLE | REPEATABLE READ | READ COMMITTED | READ UNCOMMITTED }
READ WRITE | READ ONLY
DESCRIPTION
The SET TRANSACTION command sets the characteristics of the current transaction. It has no effect on any subsequent transactions. SET SES-
SION CHARACTERISTICS sets the default transaction characteristics for subsequent transactions of a session. These defaults can be overrid-
den by SET TRANSACTION for an individual transaction.
The available transaction characteristics are the transaction isolation level and the transaction access mode (read/write or read-only).
The isolation level of a transaction determines what data the transaction can see when other transactions are running concurrently:
READ COMMITTED
A statement can only see rows committed before it began. This is the default.
SERIALIZABLE
All statements of the current transaction can only see rows committed before the first query or data-modification statement was exe-
cuted in this transaction.
The SQL standard defines two additional levels, READ UNCOMMITTED and REPEATABLE READ. In PostgreSQL READ UNCOMMITTED is treated as READ
COMMITTED, while REPEATABLE READ is treated as SERIALIZABLE.
The transaction isolation level cannot be changed after the first query or data-modification statement (SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE,
FETCH, or COPY) of a transaction has been executed. See in the documentation for more information about transaction isolation and concur-
rency control.
The transaction access mode determines whether the transaction is read/write or read-only. Read/write is the default. When a transaction is
read-only, the following SQL commands are disallowed: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and COPY FROM if the table they would write to is not a tem-
porary table; all CREATE, ALTER, and DROP commands; COMMENT, GRANT, REVOKE, TRUNCATE; and EXPLAIN ANALYZE and EXECUTE if the command they
would execute is among those listed. This is a high-level notion of read-only that does not prevent all writes to disk.
NOTES
If SET TRANSACTION is executed without a prior START TRANSACTION or BEGIN, it will appear to have no effect, since the transaction will
immediately end.
It is possible to dispense with SET TRANSACTION by instead specifying the desired transaction_modes in BEGIN or START TRANSACTION.
The session default transaction modes can also be set by setting the configuration parameters default_transaction_isolation and
default_transaction_read_only. (In fact SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS is just a verbose equivalent for setting these variables with SET.)
This means the defaults can be set in the configuration file, via ALTER DATABASE, etc. Consult in the documentation for more information.
COMPATIBILITY
Both commands are defined in the SQL standard. SERIALIZABLE is the default transaction isolation level in the standard. In PostgreSQL the
default is ordinarily READ COMMITTED, but you can change it as mentioned above. Because of lack of predicate locking, the SERIALIZABLE
level is not truly serializable. See in the documentation for details.
In the SQL standard, there is one other transaction characteristic that can be set with these commands: the size of the diagnostics area.
This concept is specific to embedded SQL, and therefore is not implemented in the PostgreSQL server.
The SQL standard requires commas between successive transaction_modes, but for historical reasons PostgreSQL allows the commas to be omit-
ted.
