Description

The TXNLEVEL() function returns the current Transaction level as a number. Transactions can be nested by issuing a further BEGIN TRANSACTION when a transaction is already active. If no transaction is active, the TXNLEVEL() function returns 0. A transaction and any transactions nested within it are closed when a COMMIT, ROLLBACK or END TRANSACTION is issued.

Example

// Nested Transactions
? txnlevel() && 0
BEGIN TRANSACTION trans1
  ? txnlevel() && 1
  INSERT INTO customer;
    (TITLE, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, INITIAL, STREET,;
    CITY, STATE, ZIP,LIMIT, START_DATE);
    VALUES;
    ('Ms', 'Jones', 'Susan', 'B', '177 High Street','Beverly', 'MA', '01915', 2000, date())
  INSERT INTO accounts (ORD_VALUE) VALUES (30)
  BEGIN TRANSACTION trans2
    ? txnlevel() && 2
    INSERT INTO accounts (ORD_VALUE) VALUES (60)
    // Commit the trans1 transaction and any transactions
    // nested in trans1
    COMMIT TRANSACTION trans1
    ? txnlevel() && 0
END TRANSACTION
? txnlevel() && 0
