Subject: Strange transaction behavior
Date: May 19 1998 9:46PM

Is there something unusual you need to do in order to be able to use
begin tran/commit tran with DBLib?

Here's what I'm doing:

begin tran
do a bunch of ad-hoc updates to user tables in various databases
do a bunch of updates to system tables via stored procedures
commit tran

This works fine in ISQL.  It also works without the begin tran/commit
tran

However, when I add in the begin tran & commit tran, the ad-hoc updates
don't get applied, and the stored procedure updates get applied whether
or not I commit.

Help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
