    A dirty read occurs when one transaction updates a database item and fails, leaving the item updated but in an uncommitted state. Another transaction then reads the updated item before it can be rolled back to its original value, resulting in data that was never committed to the database being read. A dirty read happens when transaction T1 updates a record and transaction T2 reads it before T1's update is either committed or rolled back, potentially causing T2 to read invalid or non-existent data.

     Dirty Read

    o The dirty read occurs in the case when one transaction updates an item of the
    database, and then the transaction fails for some reason. The updated database
    item is accessed by another transaction before it is changed back to the original
    value.
    o A transaction T1 updates a record which is read by T2. If T1 aborts then T2 now
    has values which have never formed part of the stable database.
