control transaction duration

Hi guys,
can I control the duration of a transaction ?
Using ADO I can set a command timeout, but using T-SQL or
modifying some SQLserver parameter, can I set a sort
of timeout on a transaction and get the same result (i.e. prevent
a transaction from running too long) ?
Many thanks for your kind help

You can control max time you wait when you wait to be granted a lock. Check out SET LOCK_TIMEOUT.
However, you cannot set the max time you hold a transaction open or how long a query can run at the TSQL level
(ignoring the query governor), this has to be done in the client app (using ADO, ADO.NET of whatever API you
are using).

Context Connection Transaction

Hello Guys,

I need some some clarifications on how Context connections and transactions inter operate in CLR.

The context connection allows for ADO objects to be " running in the same transaction space". So the association to the current transaction is implied. So as long as I set for example my SqlCommand to use the context connection I am going to be running under the same transaction.

SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection("context connection=true");
SqlCommand sqlComm = new SqlCommand("EXEC myCommand", sqlConn);

I guess my ambiguity comes from the fact that the Transaction is not specifically specified.

In addition what happens upon a trigger that for example watches and insert on a table? If the insert occurs under a transaction, I would assume that I will be also picking up that transaction in the CRL Trigger, thus the whole operation would seem atomic.

Thank you,

Lubomir

Hi Lubomir!

I see that in your post you ask questions and give right answers to them yourself

Thank you,
