Author Row-versioning Features and Compatibility Mode
Ernie Gutierrez

2006-10-24, 6:37 pm

I've been looking for a clear statement about whether the new
row-versioning features (snapshot isolation level and the new read
committed isolation) in SQL Server 2005 will function under
compatibility mode 80. Does anyone happen to know the answer to this
question? If so, do you know if there's an explicit statement of this
somewhere? Thanks.

Yes, SNAPSHOT is available regardless of database compatibility level.

I don't know if there is one but I ran a cursory test shows it is functional
under 70 and 80. The is no mention about isolation level behavior in the
sp_dbcmptlevel topic so it would seem compatibility level is not an issue.

Hope this helps.
