Re: Sub-Transaction within PL/SQL

One possible work-around is to have another session going for your subtransactions. What you do: look at the information on DBMS_PIPE in the Application Developer's Guide. See the sample code for a Pro*C daemon to execute system (host) commands? Well, you could write a similar daemon that is listening on a pipe for commands to run on behalf of another session. When the daemon commits, it is committing its own logical unit of work, not that of the session that sent requests over the pipe.
