Hi Stefan,

when I try to load my stored procedure (in which i try to handle transactions in the manner i described) through the following command,

mclient -d db < xxx.sql

i'm getting nothing. Neither "operation successful" nor an error about sql syntax. And as I checked the stored procedure is not loaded.

I just tried, for testing purposes, to create a simple stored procedure with only an insertion statement firstly, enclosed in START TRANSACTION ... COMMIT and secondly followed just by COMMIT and i'm getting

in the 1st case: "Statement 'START' is not a valid flow control statement" and in the 2nd: "Statement 'COMMIT' is not a valid flow control statement"

Hi Vassilis,

Or what else does (not) happen?

Thanks! Stefan

Hi all,

Does anyone knows how can I handle transactions in a stored procedure? In procedure definition on SQL Reference says that a procedure_statement may consists of transaction_statement etc. How transaction_statement implemented in a stored procedure? I tried (inside the BEGIN ... END block of stored procedure) the:

START TRANSACTION; sql statements COMMIT;

and:

sql statements COMMIT;

but both they do not work.

Thanks, Vassilis

Hi Vassilis,

please file a bug report (via bugs.monetdb.org) about this.

Either we support transactions in stored procedures, then we need to check and fix our code, or we do not support transactions in stored procedures, then we need to fix our documentation (and check whether we issue the correct error message(s)).

Right now, I cannot tell which is true; I actually cannot even tell out of my head what the SQL standard says.

Thanks, Stefan
