Re: autonomous transaction

Posted By: Art Kagel

In Response To: Re: autonomous transaction (Cesar Inacio Martins)

In 4GL it's doable. You have to bend over a bit, because officially 4GL
doesn't support multiple connections, but you can do it by wrapping the
CONNECT TO ... AS <connection_name>; and SET CONNECTION TO <connection_name>
statements in 4GL callable C functions.

As long as you don't want to do this from within a single database
connection (like in a stored procedure) it's the same as for Oracle.
