Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example creates a DB2Connection and a DB2Transaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, DB2Transaction.Commit, and DB2Transaction.Rollback methods.

[Visual Basic]
Public Sub RunDB2Transaction(myConnString As String)
    Dim myConnection As New DB2Connection(myConnString)
    myConnection.Open()

    Dim myCommand As New DB2Command()
    Dim myTrans As DB2Transaction

    ' Start a local transaction
    myTrans = myConnection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted)
    ' Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction
    myCommand.Transaction = myTrans

    Try
        myCommand.CommandText = "Insert into STAFF (ID, NAME) VALUES (...)"
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        myCommand.CommandText = "Insert into STAFF (ID, NAME) VALUES (...)"
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        myTrans.Commit()
        Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.")
    Catch e As Exception
        myTrans.Rollback()
        Console.WriteLine(e.ToString())
        Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.")
    Finally
        myConnection.Close()
    End Try
End Sub

[C#]
public void RunDB2Transaction(string myConnString)
{
   DB2Connection myConnection = new DB2Connection(myConnString);
   myConnection.Open();

   DB2Command myCommand = new DB2Command();
   DB2Transaction myTrans;

   // Start a local transaction
   myTrans = myConnection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted);
   // Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction
   myCommand.Transaction = myTrans;

   try
   {
     myCommand.CommandText = "Insert into STAFF (ID, NAME) VALUES (...)";
     myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
     myCommand.CommandText = "Insert into STAFF (ID, NAME) VALUES (...)";
     myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
     myTrans.Commit();
     Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
   }
   catch(Exception e)
   {
     myTrans.Rollback();
     Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
     Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.");
   }
   finally
   {
     myConnection.Close();
   }
}
