Difference between non-repeatable read vs dirty read

Question

From this oracle java tutorial:

A non-repeatable read occurs when transaction A retrieves a row, transaction B subsequently updates the row, and transaction A later retrieves the same row again. Transaction A retrieves the same row twice but sees different data.

What's the difference between a dirty read and the non-repeatable read? Is it not the same thing? reading the wrong result due to others' updating?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The exact same page explains what a dirty read is:

Accessing an updated value that has not been committed is considered a dirty read because it is possible for that value to be rolled back to its previous value. If you read a value that is later rolled back, you will have read an invalid value.

So, non-repeatable read consists in reading two different committed values, whereas dirty read consists in reading a value that hasn't been committed yet. Quite different.

Answer 2

From here:-

Dirty Reads occur when one transaction reads data written by another, uncommitted, transaction. The danger with dirty reads is that the other transaction might never commit, leaving the original transaction with "dirty" data.

Non Repeatable Reads occur when one transaction attempts to access the same data twice and a second transaction modifies the data between the first transaction's read attempts. This may cause the first transaction to read two different values for the same data, causing the original read to be non-repeatable.
