Overload List

Begins a database transaction.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Function BeginTransaction() As OleDbTransaction

[C#] public OleDbTransaction BeginTransaction();

[C++] public: OleDbTransaction* BeginTransaction();

[JScript] public function BeginTransaction() : OleDbTransaction;

Begins a database transaction with the current IsolationLevel value.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Function BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel) As OleDbTransaction

[C#] public OleDbTransaction BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel);

[C++] public: OleDbTransaction* BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel);

[JScript] public function BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel) : OleDbTransaction;

Example

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

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note   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.
