    BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel) Method
    In This Topic
    Begins a database transaction with the specified isolation level.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overloads Shadows Function BeginTransaction( _
       ByVal il As IsolationLevel _
    ) As MySqlTransaction
    public new MySqlTransaction BeginTransaction( 
       IsolationLevel il
    )

    Parameters

    il

    Return Value

    An object representing the new transaction.
    Remarks
    To commit or roll back the transaction, you must explicitly use the Commit or Rollback methods.

    To ensure that the dotConnect for MySQL transaction management model performs correctly, avoid using other transaction management models, such as those provided by MySQL.

    In MySQL, only InnoDB and BDB (BerkeleyDB) table formats support transactions. Other standard storage engines ignore transactions and can not rollback data modifications.

    Example
    The following example creates a MySqlConnection and a MySqlTransaction. It also demonstrates how to use the BeginTransaction(), Commit, and Rollback methods.
    public void RunMySqlTransaction(string myConnString)
    {
      MySqlConnection myConnection = new MySqlConnection(myConnString);
      myConnection.Open();
    
      MySqlCommand myCommand = new MySqlCommand();
      myCommand.Connection = myConnection;
      MySqlTransaction myTrans;
    
      // Start a local transaction
      myTrans = myConnection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted);
      // Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction
      myCommand.Transaction = myTrans;
    
      try
      {
        myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(50, 'DEVELOPMENT')";
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
        myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(60, 'PRODUCTION')";
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
        myTrans.Commit();
        Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.");
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
        myTrans.Rollback();
        Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.");
      }
      finally
      {
        myConnection.Close();
      }
    }
    Public Sub RunMySqlTransaction(myConnString As String)
      Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(myConnString)
      myConnection.Open()
    
      Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand()
      myCommand.Connection = myConnection
      Dim myTrans As MySqlTransaction
    
      ' Start a local transaction
      myTrans = myConnection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted)
      ' Assign transaction object for a pending local transaction
      myCommand.Transaction = myTrans
    
      Try
        myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(50, 'DEVELOPMENT')"
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        myCommand.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(60, 'PRODUCTION')"
        myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
        myTrans.Commit()
        Console.WriteLine("Both records are written to database.")
      Catch e As Exception
        myTrans.Rollback()
        Console.WriteLine(e.ToString())
        Console.WriteLine("Neither record was written to database.")
      Finally
        myConnection.Close()
      End Try
    End Sub
