TRANSACTIONS and fork() in esql/c
Posted in 1995
Hello: We are using Online 6.0 and ESQL/C under AIX. My question is: When utilizing TRANSACTIONS under ESQL/C (ie. "EXEC SQL define TRANS;").... When a process spawns multiple "children" processes (by way of "fork()"), what is the relationship of the "children" processes to the TRANSACTION. For example, if child "A" performs a rollback, does this cause a rollback of all uncommitted database updates for *all* other children as well? (and for the parent process too, for that matter). For a description of TRANSACTIONS, see Informix Guide to SQL Tutorial ver 6.0, page 4-23) Thanks for your help. ...
