After this method has been called, no database transactions are committed until a CommitTrans is issued. Alternatively, the session can be rolled back using the Rollback method. If a transaction has already been started, repeated use of the BeginTrans method causes an error.
If Update or Delete methods fail on a given row in a dynaset in a global transaction after you issue a BeginTrans, be aware that locks remain on those rows on which you called the Update or Delete method. These locks persist until you call a CommitTrans or Rollback method.
Note:
If anOraDatabase object has been enlisted with Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and is part of a global MTS transaction, this method has no effect.This example demonstrates the use of the BeginTrans method to group a set of dynaset edits into a single transaction and uses the Rollback method to cancel those changes.
