When we work with transactions, there is a chance that a row is updated and at the same time other query can read the updated value. This results in a dirty read because the updated value is not permanent yet, the transaction that has updated the row can rollback to previous value resulting in invalid data.

Dirty Read is prevented by isolation levels TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED, TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ and TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE.
