The 'nasty' feature/option you want to do is a:

SQLCA.autocommit = TRUE

or change SQLCA to the transaction object you define in PB. As Thomas says, you really need to review your entire application as Sybase's ASA or Sybase's ASE have completely different transaction and locking mechanisms than Oracle. In ASA, for example, dirty reads are completely acceptable and the default, whereas Oracle does not allow this (in default isolation mode). This of course makes multi-user applications perform very different, and you need to write your application accordingly.

Good luck. Received on Tue Dec 21 2004 - 09:23:11 CST
