Transaction types

[letynsoft]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch loopback-connector-sqlite3@3.0.0 for the project I'm working on.

The issue i'm facing is that loopback uses enum of isolation levels (below), which doesn't correspond to the sqlite3-supported list of transaction options.

The Loopback enum:

export declare enum IsolationLevel {
    READ_COMMITTED = "READ COMMITTED",
    READ_UNCOMMITTED = "READ UNCOMMITTED",
    SERIALIZABLE = "SERIALIZABLE",
    REPEATABLE_READ = "REPEATABLE READ"
}

Supported SQLITE3 BEGIN ... TRANSACTION is DEFERRED, IMMEDIATE and EXCLUSIVE (see https://www.sqlite.org/lang_transaction.html)

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

diff --git a/node_modules/loopback-connector-sqlite3/lib/transaction.js b/node_modules/loopback-connector-sqlite3/lib/transaction.js
