Utility Functions : List of Utility Functions : stm_start_transaction

stm_start_transaction
Function Type
void
Description
Enables transaction operations on the database. If you are retrieving information from a database that has changed since the last transaction opening (the last start), it is important to do a commit followed by another start before calling a new function. This sequence establishes access to database changes because it refreshes the database image in memory.
Note:
This function is relevant only in self_transaction mode. In the automatic_transaction mode, the start and commit functions are performed automatically.
Syntax
stm_start_transaction ()
Example
To enable transaction operations on the database, use the following statements:

stm_start_transaction();
stm_r... -- a retrieval function
