OdbcBeginTrans

Syntax

ODBCBeginTrans(str_dbidentifier);

str_dbidentifier

The identifier specified in OdbcConnect.

Description

Begins a new transaction, which opens these possibilities:

•	To commit the transaction, call the ODBCCommitTrans function.

•	To end the transaction, call the ODBCRollbackTrans function.

•	No new function is called and the transaction is automatically rolled back, for example, if the connection times out or is lost.

Note:

This function cannot be run in the preprocessing phase, and must therefore be inside an if (preproc() == 0) { } block.

Returns

N/A

Example

if (preproc() == 0)
{
...
ODBCBeginTrans("my_identifier");
...
}
