+
+When using MySQL with Redmine 5.1.1 or later, it is necessary to change
+the transaction isolation level from the default REPEATABLE READ to
+READ_COMMITTED. To modify this setting, either change the database
+configuration file or alter the settings on your MySQL server.
+
+To set the transaction isolation level in the database configuration file,
+add transaction_isolation variable as below:
+
+  production:
+    adapter: mysql2
+    database: redmine
+    host: localhost
+    [...]
+    variables:
+      transaction_isolation: "READ-COMMITTED"
