Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example creates a DB2®Connection and a DB2Transaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction, DB2Transaction.Commit, and DB2Transaction.Rollback methods.

Note: [Visual Basic, C#] This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of BeginTransaction. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

[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
