BeginTransaction()
- Source:
- OdbcConnection.cs
- Source:
- OdbcConnection.cs
Starts a transaction at the data source.

System::Data::Odbc::OdbcTransaction ^ BeginTransaction();public System.Data.Odbc.OdbcTransaction BeginTransaction ();override this.BeginTransaction : unit -> System.Data.Odbc.OdbcTransactionmember this.BeginTransaction : unit -> System.Data.Odbc.OdbcTransactionPublic Function BeginTransaction () As OdbcTransactionReturns
An object representing the new transaction.
Exceptions
A transaction is currently active. Parallel transactions are not supported.
Examples
The following example creates an OdbcConnection and an OdbcTransaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, Commit, and Rollback methods.
public static void ExecuteTransaction(string connectionString)
{
using (OdbcConnection connection =
new OdbcConnection(connectionString))
{
OdbcCommand command = new OdbcCommand();
OdbcTransaction transaction = null;
// Set the Connection to the new OdbcConnection.
command.Connection = connection;
// Open the connection and execute the transaction.
try
{
connection.Open();
// Start a local transaction
transaction = connection.BeginTransaction();
// Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction.
command.Connection = connection;
command.Transaction = transaction;
// Execute the commands.
command.CommandText =
"Insert into Region (RegionID, RegionDescription) VALUES (100, 'Description')";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
command.CommandText =
"Insert into Region (RegionID, RegionDescription) VALUES (101, 'Description')";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Commit the transaction.
transaction.Commit();
Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
try
{
// Attempt to roll back the transaction.
transaction.Rollback();
}
catch
{
// Do nothing here; transaction is not active.
}
}
// The connection is automatically closed when the
// code exits the using block.
}
}

Using connection As New OdbcConnection(connectionString)
Dim command As New OdbcCommand()
Dim transaction As OdbcTransaction
' Set the Connection to the new OdbcConnection.
command.Connection = connection
' Open the connection and execute the transaction.

' Commit the transaction.

End Try
End Try

End Using
End Sub
Remarks
To commit or roll back the transaction, you must explicitly use the Commit or Rollback methods.
To make sure that the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC transaction management model performs correctly, avoid using other transaction management models, such as those provided by the data source.
Note
If you do not specify an isolation level, the isolation level will be determined by the driver being used. To specify an isolation level with the BeginTransaction method, use the overload that takes the isolevel parameter.
