G'day Ben, Too little experience at this end to report anything other than the following. In R:BASE I tried TRANSACTION ON once and it slowed the speed so much I resolved to use other methods to attain my objectives.
If you use it in your code then I believe the most likely cause of the error message you are seeing is the failure of the code to successfully complete a transaction and thereby leaving the database in a condition where it needs to be recovered. (You _are_ setting it off after setting it on, aren't you?) I would narrow your investigation to that area of code. At 21:00 17/09/02 -0400, you wrote: >I am running a particular code with Transaction Set on.
