Starting Transactions

Go Up to API Guide

Starting a transaction is a three-step process:

1. Creating and initializing a transaction handle for each simultaneous transaction to be started.
2. Optionally creating and populating a TPB for each transaction.
3. Calling isc_start_transaction() for each transaction to start.

These steps are described in the following sections of this chapter.

• Creating Transaction Handles
• Creating a Transaction Parameter Buffer
• Calling isc_start_transaction()
• Calling isc_start_multiple()
• Use of Commit/Rollback with Multidatabase Transactions

Note: Programmers writing applications that do not permit function calls to pass a variable number of parameters must use isc_start_multiple() instead of isc_start_transaction().
