If a transaction is in progress, cancels all the operations performed on the data files in transaction since the start of transaction. In this case, the transaction is canceled without interrupting the program execution.
If no transaction is in progress, restores the consistency of the database and cancels the unsuccessful transaction (power failure for example).
Remark: A transaction that failed can be canceled by any program.
The transaction file is automatically destroyed if it is not shared. The records locked by the write operations performed during the transaction are unlocked.
Remark: From version 19, HFSQL is the new name of HyperFileSQL.

Remarks

Location and access to data files

Before calling HTransactionCancel, the data files handled by the canceled transaction must be:

Detecting an error

When an error is detected by the program (management of errors with WHILE EXCEPTION for example), HTransactionCancel is used to:
  • restore the data files in their initial status.
  • cancel all the operations performed on the data files since the call to HTransactionStart (or HTransaction).

Tip: Restoring the database consistency

If a breakdown (power failure, reboot, ...) occurs during a transaction, the data files may become corrupted: the transaction was neither validated, nor canceled. The transaction file is still found on the computer.
To restore the consistency of the database, you should propose in your application:
  • an option used to maintain the database consistency.
    This option can for example call HTransactionCancel or HTransactionStart/HTransactionEnd.
  • management of error 70034 in the initialization code of project via the WHEN EXCEPTION keyword.
    Therefore, when the error 70034 occurs, the database consistency will be restored by HTransactionCancel, or by HTransactionStart/HTransactionEnd.
Remark: this operation can be quite long (according to the number of operations performed in transaction).

Error cases

  • Nesting transactions: It is not possible to nest transactions (i.e., to call HTransactionStart or HTransaction in a transaction).. In this case, error 70031 occurs.
  • Versions 19 and later
    A fatal error is displayed in the following cases:
    • A transaction is started on all the connections while there is at least one connection in transaction.
    • A transaction is started on a connection while a transaction was already started on all the connections.
    • A transaction is started on all the connections while there is at least one connection whose isolation mode is not "Read Uncommitted".

Transactions and independent HFSQL context

When copying a context, if a transaction is in progress on the first context, the new context is not in transaction. You must call HTransactionStart (or HTransaction) to start a transaction in the new context.

OLE DB and Native Connectors

Only syntaxes with connection are taken into account by the Native Connectors that support transactions. You can also use SQLTransaction.
